Summary:

Beginning Rock Rhythm Guitar teaches rhythm guitar in a variety of rock styles, from classic 60s and 70s rock to 80s hard rock and 90s alternative rock. This book is a companion to the Beginning Rock Rhythm Guitar video and features parallel content -- transcriptions of each progression, riff, and exercise played in the video, along with fretboard diagrams, in depth explanations and references.

As the name suggests, it starts out at the beginner stage. But being a true 'Troy Stetina' method, it goes well beyond that and into some reasonably challenging territory before it's through. Therefore, it is suitable for intermediate-level players as well as beginners.

Covers: Major and minor open chords, barre chords, power chords, dyads, rock and blues progressions, counting time, strumming, syncopation, root/chord strums, arpeggiated chords, shuffle and double-time shuffle rhythms.
