This innovative book features the new activity First Sighting, which introduces students to sightreading. Clever games and activities strengthen rhythmic skills and reinforce the material introduced in Lesson Book 2. An appealing complement to the Lesson Book, the Theory Activity Book greatly increases student excitement for playing the guitar!

GuitarWorks, NoteWriter, Composer Corner, and Music Fun sections provide activities to reinforce concepts presented in the Lesson Book. A sound basis for rhythm is established by fun-filled counting and writing activities.

This book is supplemental to the FJH Young Beginner Guitar Method. Students may begin the Exploring Chords book at any time in their studies. Three-string chords are presented by chord name and guitar fingerboard (frame) only. Duet arrangements allow the teacher to play the melody while being accompanied by the student.

Lesson Book 2 provides a seamless transition from Book 1. It introduces three-string chords along with the natural notes on strings four, five, and six. Additional new concepts include eighth notes, chromatics (sharps, flats and naturals), pick-up notes, ties, and rests. Students are encouraged to strum chords to accompany the melody whenever possible. Many optional teacher duets are included. (Students may enjoy playing the teacher duet parts as well!)

The Performance Book 3 provides additional songs written in a variety of styles to reinforce skills learned in the lesson book. This book may be used as a supplement to other guitar methods as well. All songs are suitable for public performance.
