Play Guitar, a new guitar method in two parts, offers for the first time the possibility
of learning both playing strokes (apoyando = rest stroke, and tirando = free stroke)
either simultaneously or successively.
Play Guitar offers a wide choice of compostitions and arrangements, which should
give even beginners access to the many stylistic ranges of guitar playing.
Numerous illustrations with new perspectives make the technical procedures
clear and exact in an easily comprehensible way.
Additional workshops deal with blues and song accompaniment.

Part 1 starts with one-voiced playing, in order to promote an awareness of melody
and a feeling for rhythm. As Soon as the left hand fingers can be placed on the
notes with minimal force, and the right hand fingers have learned a stability and
sureness when playing , from a technical point of view the typical guitar arpeggios
can be begun (this is an essentisl theme in Part 2)
