Getting Started

Section 2: Getting Started

In this section of the book, Frank takes a look at the tools for the job, which is an area often neglected by people who use their instruments to make a living, as well as by those who play for fun. 

Advice is given on:

buying a guitar

strings

plectrums/picks

capos

amplification

hipshot tuners & Keith pegs

EQ boxes

Part 2 of this section suggests a number of practical steps to getting organised as a guitar student.  The section concludes with an explanation of the notation used in the book, explaining things such as how to read tablature, chord diagrams and charts, and the use of the capo. Back.
