Acoustic Music Books Pick it up!

For intensive study of fingerpicking and skill development, guitar students are given an ideal instructional book with Pick it up! Hans Westermeier, guitarist, composer, author and lecturer, composes 20 pieces for this edition that teach the techniques in a gentle but steadily increasing manner in difficulty. The pieces, in folkpicking, bluespicking, and modern fingerstyle styles, address the exact demands that apprentices typically encounter. All examples are tried and tested and have consistently proven themselves over a period of 5 years in guitar lessons. The level of difficulty ranges from very easy to very difficult and is always indicated so that the respective level can be estimated and increased. Represented are compositions of various patterns in standard tuning, Open tunings DADGAD and Open-C, which are presented by means of notes and tabs.
