Welcome to The Beginner Guitarist!

This series has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although designed as a teacher’s aid, it can also be used for independent study. Ideas are introduced one at a time in an easy-to-follow method with the goal of being a measured and progressive tutor.

Book One builds right-hand technique, with the ability to strike the string effectively and produce a clear sound. Left-hand technique is then addressed with notes on the top three strings in first position. Use of the thumb is also covered briefly. Light relief comes with glissando and percussive work. Dynamics are then introduced onto a stable base of notes, followed by accidentals (key of G). The book is rounded off with chords and arpeggios, giving the student a chance to ‘swap seats’ with the teacher and play the role of accompanist. Elsewhere the teacher may accompany the pupil with the suggested chords, either playing the root note or the full voicings as notated.

About the author: Nigel Tuffs is an instrumental teacher with more than 20 years of experience in all areas of guitar teaching. Originally a member of several rock bands he completed an honours degree at the Colchester Institute, specialising in composition and performance, and has since worked extensively as a chamber musician, in guitar ensembles, as an accompanist and also as an educator.
