Bay Guitar for Seniors Book & CD
- $16.95
This is a beginning guitar method.
The
contents of this book present the fundamentals of playing
guitar in a sequence making the material logical and easy to
learn.
The primary
difference between this method and many others is that this
book is written for seniors wanting to learn to play the
guitar.
While many
would say that getting on in years is only a state of mind,
the fact is that some of the body parts (including the eyes)
don’t function quite the same as they did in younger years.
With this in mind, the font has purposely been enlarged.
Care has been taken to select repertoire
familiar and appealing to a more mature audience and attention has been given to
the pacing of the material.
