The Complete Guide to Mastering Acoustic Guitar Styles by Dave Hunter.

The acoustic guitar is the instrument of the people and Play Acoustic tells the people how to play it. This detailed and beautifully illustrated book explores the history of the acoustic guitar, from the jazz age to the folk revolutions of the early 1960s and late 1990s to the current rebirth of bluegrass and the singer-songwriter boom of the past decade. Skilled professional musicians and experienced tutors coach the reader through 11 styles, using exercises suitable to novice players new to each style and working up to full pieces and advanced techniques. Entire chapters are devoted to folk, rock and pop, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, and more, with detailed guidance through both musical notation and tablature, diagrams, and explanatory text. An accompanying CD also offers listening examples of the most crucial of these exercises, to help players master each style.

Mixed reviews.ID:416225416225softones 29 May 2007 05:37I don't want to sound ungrateful.. but the 'poor' masses, including me, rely upon a mirror... there is not much chance of me ing ANYthing from Rapidcrap... especially a large programme... You may earn gold-plated points from them, but to me, and millions of others, they STINK, BIG style... I would mention.. if you don't want mirrors, why bother uploadingsurely you are in the "sharing" community, or are you only sharing with a select fewI hope you wont take offence with my comments... I just thought you should know my views, and many others' same views. I tried all night, and all so-far today (from China) and there isn't any way they will let memore than about 20% of the first part.... this is what prompted me to comment.ID:416823416823cajunwizard 30 May 2007 06:43Thanks for the post, but the first part won't complete from RS... apparently the server they have it stored on is in dire need of something or other. I've tried 3 times toPart 1, and it's no joy after about 30% completes. Part 2 worked fine. I also agree about the mirrors... true spirit of sharing is to get it to all who desire. Some folks can'tfrom RS at all.... ummmm... make that a lot of folks, apparently, judging from the flack on a lot of posts. In my case, a mirror would have at least given me a chance to complete the .ID:417448417448
