Review: a songwriter dream book - This is the fun and simple way to learn rock and roll rhythm guitar. It contains some great rhythmic patterns to inspire any guitar player/songwriter. The pattern are broken into 4-bar and 8-bar progressions. Most songs use a 8 bar progression with a 4-bar chorus followed by the same 8 bars and then a solo section and an outtro. thus, this makes a great songwriter manual, just add lyrics. Mixing and matching patterns will really get your creativity flowing. There is even a section of famous rock patterns with song examples. Chord diagrams are above the staff but bear in mind, you can always use other chords too. The beginner can benefit from this book too because of the easy to use format and the "how to use this book" lessons. This is a country edition available by the same author that I am quite sure is formated the same way as this one. I think I will get that book next... cheers Review: Great guitar book - I biught this to have a wide variety of songs to choose from and develop my playing. It has a very good selection of songs.
