〖Guitar ALL-IN-ONE FOR Dummies(吉他入门）〗　　
How This Book Is Organized
　　Guitar All-in-One For Dummies is sorted into eight books so you can find what you need to know quickly.
　　Book I Guitar 101
　　The first book begins with the basics by looking at how guitars are constructed, what the different parts are, and how to go about acquiring a guitar that suits your style and budget. The mechanics of getting up and running are covered here, such as stringing and tuning the instrument, and the basic how-to of playing it. A chapter in this book also tackles reading music - a skill which isn't required to play guitar, but is helpful in many ways.
　　Book II: Sounds and Techniques
　　This book gets you going in playing guitar, starting with basic major and minor chords. Did you know you can play probably half of the most famous songs ever by knowing just three or four chords? It's true. Of course, after you get a taste of E minor, you're going to want to try E7 . . . and that's how you get hooked. This book also discusses strumming, plucking, and picking techniques. By the time you finish this book, you should have all the knowledge you need to play, in basic form, loads and loads of songs on guitar.
　　Book III: Rock Guitar
　　Nowadays, when people think of a guitar, they usually picture someone in tight pants and insufficiently trimmed hair coaxing unholy sounds out of it. That's because rock 'n' roll really brought the guitar to the forefront of popular culture, beginning in the middle of the last century. This book focuses on All Things Rock: the nitty-gritty of amplifiers, playing hot licks and sweet leads, and checking out just how the greatest guitar heroes do what they do. From Chuck Berry to Keith Richards, from Jimi Hendrix to The Edge, this book is your key to unlocking what makes rock guitar so exciting.
　　Book IV: Blues Guitar
　　A basic guitar is cheap to buy (or make), and it's perfect for strumming while you sing - which meant it was the ideal instrument for African Americans to entertain themselves and their neighbors in the rural South during hard times. The result: a unique musical genre that's as full of emotion and passion as it is easy to play. But the blues didn't stop at the porch - it migrated to various parts of the U.S. (and eventually Great Britain and elsewhere) and developed into many distinct styles. It also helped birth rock 'n' roll. This book explores all aspects of the blues, from picking styles to signature riffs, from the evolution of different song forms to the achievements of the great blues guitarists in history.
　　Book V: Classical Guitar
　　The other iconic image of a guitar player is a romantic-looking fellow, seated and holding a humble acoustic guitar, playing gorgeous and complicated instrumental music. This book makes it clear that rock and blues are the new kids on the block. Classical guitar figured out early on that the great Baroque, Classical, and Romantic compositions weren't just for violin and cello after all. This book delves into the history and development of classical guitar, both as an instrument and a style. It contains lots of music to play, too, including standards that are surprisingly easy to play and more challenging, complex pieces that vividly separate the virtuosos from the noodlers.
　　Book VI: Exercises: Practice, Practice, Practice
　　How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, and lots of it, is the only way you'll ever stand on stage with confidence, poised to amaze and delight a crowd. Many guitarists find that after several months or even years of playing, their abilities plateau - they don't get worse, but they don't get better. They have reached stasis in their playing. And that may be fine, depending on commitment level. But at that point, one sure-fire way to keep improving is to repeatedly work the fingers through rigorous practice exercises. In this book you find lots and lots of moderate and advanced scales, chords, and arpeggio training designed to correct deficiencies and rev up stalled skills.
　　Book VII: Writing Songs and Music
　　Picking up a guitar and playing songs and compositions written by your favorite artists is fun, no question about it. But there may well come a point when you feel the urge to contribute something original of your own. How exactly do you go about that? Well, you could stumble around trying out random chords as you think up things that rhyme (please don't rhyme "fire" with "desire" again, okay, please?) - or you could approach the challenge armed with some wisdom from people who do it for a living. It turns out that writing songs is both an art and a science. This book is chock-full of tips and tricks to use when writing music, such as using the inherent melodies in scales and chords and putting chords together in proven progressions that evoke precisely the mood and feeling you're after.
　　Book VIII: Appendixes
　　Guitar All-in-One For Dummies ends with the Mother of All Guitar Chord Charts - a reference that should come in mighty handy when trying to recall how to form E%dim7 - and an appendix on using the CD.
