Level 1: Moving Up the Neck It is very important to learn the notes on the low 6th and 5th strings. Most of our chord, scale, and arpeggio positions on the guitar are based on either a 6th or 5th string root note. The following diagram indicates the notes on string 6 from open E to the 12th fret E. Please note: • Play and say the name of each natural note on the 6th and 5th strings. Memorize the location of these notes on strings 5 and 6. • Fret markers: Most guitars have fret markers at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th frets. Use them as your signposts for locating notes. Pay special attention to which notes fall at the fret markers and which fall in between. • Sharp and flat notes can be located by raising or lowering the natural note by one fret. • Starting at fret 12, the notes repeat again—one octave higher.

ROMANZA—In Book 1 there was an arrangement of the beautiful Spanish folk melody “Romanza.” Following is that same melody played entirely on the 6th string. The purpose of this is to help familiarize you with note locations on the 6th string. Use the TAB if you get stuck, but try to read the notes and get used to their locations on string 6. • Guitar 1: Use the suggested fingerings. Notice which notes fall at the same frets as the markers and which fall in between them. All F notes are sharp, and watch out for the D # in bar 10 as well.

CHORD THEORY
Practical Theory Practical music theory is taught to support the learning and command of chords and rhythm playing.
The “F-type” barre chord used in the previous example is a major chord. MAJOR CHORDS have three notes—the root, the 3rd, and the 5th. For example:

Stay in 2nd position and hold the A5 chord the entire time; Example ZZ—This 15: Driving keep your 1st finger down on the 4th string E throughout. The C and D notes are played on string 5 with a very short pull-off to Driving ZZ the open A. This gives the pattern its extremely drivingDriving rhythm.

ADAGIO IN E MINOR—Here is an original, solo guitar composition featuring sixteenth note arpeggios (an arpeggio is when a chord is played one note at a time). Let all the notes ring, and strive to “pull” the melody from the bass line. Play at a medium slow tempo (“adagio” means to play slowly), and make it pretty! The song is played fingerstyle and is based on simple, three-string chords. The whole song is played from within chord shapes, so your left hand fingerings are dictated by the chord fingerings. Use the TAB and the chord diagrams to find all the correct fingerings.
Performance Opportunities
Page 10
Important: Though they use different fingerings, notice that the Em7 fingering that begins the song is at the 3rd fret and is the Example 6: Adagio in E minor exact same chord shape as the partial Am (bars 5 and 7). Use your 3rd and 2nd fingers to play the Em7, and keep your 2nd finger on the D note for the entire first measure. Also, remember finger numbers and fret numbers are often the same in 1st position, but once we leave the 1st position they are totally unrelated. Aaron Stang
Adagio in E minor

WHICH LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
BOOK 1
This revolutionary new method combines solid pedagogy with a focus on real-world guitar skills such as strumming and fingerpicking, pivotal rock and blues riffs, improvising, reading music, and music theory. Book 1, Teacher Edition.........................................................................................(39349) Book 1........................................................................................................................... (37177)
BOOK 2
Quickly reviews concepts taught in Book 1, then goes full-speed ahead with topics like moving up the neck, semi-quavers, speed picking, playing power chords in higher positions, classic guitar riffs, barre chords (major, minor, and seventh), and much more. Book 2...........................................................................................................................(40868)
Both levels include a DVD with video lessons and MP3 tracks with instructional explanations, demonstrations, and performances of all concepts and techniques. The included software lets students slow tracks down and loop sections for continuous practice, and the video lessons on the included DVD explain and demonstrate all the concepts and techniques.
