Description

Fully illustrated and with an accompanying CD, From Zero to Rock Hero is a six-week crash course on how to become a rock god. No more struggling through endless exercises and infantile tunes to learn the guitar: this book will turn beginner musicians into hot rock guitarists and teach them to play in the styles of the world's most famous musicians and bands, like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Metallica, to name a few.
Designed to get even the most basic beginner riffing, soloing, and rocking out like an experienced ax-man, this book covers everything from posture, hand positioning and technique to music theory and notation. (For those players who don't read standard notation, the TABs provide all the information they need when used with the accompanying CD.) Readers build a repertoire of both classic and modern-day rock songs in preparation for becoming the next guitar idols. Becoming a rock hero has never been so easy!
