Playing the guitar requires the skilled use of your entire body. Unfortunately, most books on playing guitar focus exclusively on what notes to play, and give little or no attention to how they should be made. This leaves guitarists with a problem. Misunderstanding the mechanics of movement leads to frustration, because it makes learning new techniques harder, limits your abilities when techniques don't work like they should, and causes injury when unhealthy technique wears down your body.The solution is simple: Anatomy of Guitar Playing is your guide to moving well, learning faster and avoiding injury. When you understand the mechanics of moving, you will know for yourself how techniques work. Anatomy of Guitar Playing is both a description of how the body works, as well as a prescription for how to move better, taking you through what you need to know about the body in order to use it more effectively.

Through learning about the proper use of the body at the guitar, you will be able to learn faster, play with better facility and reduce injury.

Playing drums is easy! ... As long as you know what to do. Unfortunately, knowing what to do is the tricky part. It's easy to get lost along the way, distracted by things that won't move you forward, practicing things you already do well, or simply intimidated because you just don't know what you need to work on. This book will fix that. I've broken down what you need to know into about a dozen or so separate skills. Each chapter is a new skill, and the exercises are real songs that you can listen to and play along to. The songs get progressively complex. By working your way through this book, you'll end up being able to play songs like Kashmir by Led Zeppelin and Chameleon by the Headhunters with ease. The way the skills are broken down is a good start, but each skill is itself composed of different elements that you'll need to figure out if you are to master it. Deciphering the instructions, learning the physical movements required, using the skill in sequence, finding a flow, and getting your notes to mean something musically all require different mental tools. Unfortunately, the tools required for one part interfere with the effectively learning a different part. For example: "being in your head" is a disadvantage to performing well, but an advantage for figuring out the pattern in the first place. To fix this problem, I've included a method for learning them that I've developed over years of teaching, learning and my formal study of education, music and psychology. This method breaks down how to learn each skill into stages and how to approach mastering each stage. Along the way, you'll learn how to swing a groove, how to read a groove in staff notation, how to hear what you read in your head before you play, and gain some tools for both learning fast and playing musically.

Unlike any other how-to-drum book currently out there, this book is specifically geared to adults. Maybe you always wanted to play, but for whatever reason it never happened. Maybe you left music-making behind at some point and want to pick it back up. Either way, this book is designed for you. It is a focused introduction on how to play music with other people. After working your way through this book, you will be able to play music with a band, have fun, and sound good. Even if you master only the patterns in this book, you will still be able to make music with your friends and convincingly fake your way through just about any song you hear on the radio. Maybe you won't be able to play the exact pattern the original drummer played yet, or every fill, but you will be able to get the idea across in a way that you and the people you play with will enjoy. You will also get a firm musical foundation and a good practice method that will allow you to branch off in the direction you want to go after you master this book. **********Why Choose This Book*************This is the only how-to-play-drums book written specifically for adult novices, adults returning to the drums and for other instrumentalists who want to learn the drums***You want to learn how to make music, not just play notes. ***It has a practice method based on my professional and academic experience that you can use for any material, in any book***You can work their own way through at their own pace ***The book and practice method are designed to fit different learning styles ***The book offers a unique notation system designed to make understanding what to do on the drums more intuitive and also to make transitioning to staff notation easier**********What You Will Learn*************This book is not a compendium of everything you can do on the drums.
