William Leavitt이 쓴 A Modern Method for Guitar는 버클리 음악 대학에서 기타 프로그램의 기본 교재로 사용하고 있으며 40년이 넘는 세월동안 세계에서 가장 인기있고 인정받는 레슨북으로 자리를 굳혔습니다.
이 책은 14시간 30분의 분량으로 버클리 교수인 Larry Baione의 완성도 있는 14개의 레슨 동영상이 온라인으로 함께 제공됩니다.
www.halleonard.com/mylibrary 에 접속 후 책 안에 있는 액세스 코드를 입력하면 동영상을 볼 수 있습니다.
동영상은 양쪽 손의 클로즈업 각도로 연주 장면을 자세히 볼 수 있고 강사와 함게 앉아서 따라 연주할 수 있는 방식으로 구성되어 있습니다.
초보 기타리스트들을 위한 단단한 기초와 기타 및 음악의 기본이 되는 스케일, 멜로디, 코드와 아르페지오, 악보 읽는 방법, 이동 가능한 코드 폼을 사용해서 보이스 리딩하는 방법 등의 많은 내용들이 수록되어 있습니다.
버클리 음악 대학의 기타 코스 1년 과정에 해당하는 내용들이 실려있습니다.
타브악보로는 기보되어 있지 않으며 일반 오선악보와 코드 다이어그램으로만 기보되어 있습니다.
