Preface Welcome to Contemporary Acoustic Guitar! This book/CD is designed to show you the essential techniques for acoustic guitar playing. While it serves as an excellent source for the beginning guitarist, it can help players of all levels widen their skills with techniques such as fingerstyle playing, Travis and bluegrass-style picking, alternate and open tunings, and new chord sounds.
The musical examples in this book are varied: some can be played with a flatpick, and others are
intended to be played fingerstyle. Some examples may be played in either fashion. Experiment and
see what feels and sounds best to you.
Most of the examples are written both in music notation and guitar tablature and can be heard on
the accompanying CD-so don't worry if you're not a great reader. The point is to get the notes
under your fingers and play! Good luck to you, and have fun!

As an art form, country music has been a constantly growing and ever-changing force in American music, while still retaining and nurturing the roots that gave it life. Similarly, country guitarists are a unique, versatile breed themselves, drawing from a wide range of musical influences that would astound not only the casual listener, but also other musicians. As an example, years before electronic gadgets became staples of rock 'n' roll, effects such as talk boxes, echo units, reverb, vibrato bars, wah-wah, octave dividers, and fuzz tones were used on country records. The stage was set on August 1, 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee,when Jimmy Rodgers recorded his first sides for the Victor Company. Rodgers, originally from Mississippi, was heavily influenced by the black blues musicians he had met in his travels as a railroad brakeman. The most notable of these was Blind Blake, "The Father of Ragtime Blues," whose recording of "He's in the Jailhouse Now" predates the version from Rodgers by nearly two years. In 1935, Bob Dunn, with Milton Brown's Musical Brownies, became the first electric steel guitarist to record. Dunn was noted for his ability to phrase like a big band horn section, not only on the jazz standards of the day, but on western and "hillbilly" tunes as well. Jimmy Wyble played with Bob Wills' Texas Playboys and Spade Cooley in the late forties and early fifties. With both groups, he demonstrated a driving swing style (influenced by Charlie Christian) that later led to his positions with jazz greats Benny Goodman and Red Norvo. Today, Wyble is still very active and is garnering acclaim for his "classical jazz" style of contrapuntal improvisation. During the fifties, Grady Martin and Hank Garland could not only be heard on country records, but they also played on rockabilly, rhythm 'n' blues, and rock sessions as well. Garland, who was one of the most highly regarded guitarists in Nashville, set the entire jazz community on its ear in 1961 with his bebop album Jazz Winds from a New Direction. Chet Atkins, by 1960, had established himself as country music's leading guitar virtuoso. He also appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival and with symphony orchestras around the country. As one of the most influential guitarists of the twentieth century, Chet influenced the rockabilly styles of James Burton, Scotty Moore, Carl Perkins, and even a young rock player from Liverpool named George Harrison. Later, Chet was responsible for recording and producing his two most accomplished disciples: Jerry Reed, finger stylist deluxe; and Lenny Breau, one of the world's leading jazz guitarists. On the west coast, at the same time, Jimmy Bryant was melting strings with his high-velocity country jazz, while bluegrass flatpicker extraordinaire Clarence White created a new vocabulary for the Tele, first with the prototypical country-rock band Nashville West and later with The Byrds. The country guitarists mentioned above (and the many more who were not) have accounted for some of the most exciting and innovative playing in American music to date. In writing this book, we have tried to capture the essence of modern country guitar and its myriad influences. We hope that this volume will expand your current repertoire of musical ideas and help you develop a personal style of country guitar.

Guitar Notation Legend

Editor's Note: Due to the personal nature of the right-hand technique, picking directions are left to the preference of each player. Jerome plays with a thumbpick and fingers, while Steve usually plays with a combination of flatpick and fingers. As a rule of thumb (no pun intended). we offer this suggestion: Experiment, play slowly, and always use the easiest possible choice for right-hand picking.

Also, the accompanying CD will assist you in deciphering the fingering, sound, and timing of each lick. On the audio CD, each example is performed twice-once up to speed and once slowly.
