Richard Pick: School Of Guitar

Editions Orphée presents a new edition of the Richard Pick School of Guitar method; presented in three parts; completely re-engraved and further edited to replace 497-00313. Rather than functioning as a traditional method book; the School of Guitar is a tool to be used by both student and teacher; aiming to provide both with practical material which can be to understand the complex symbology used in guitar music. Book I is an overview of the problems encountered in the pedagogy of the guitar; meant to help teachers in formulating for themselves and for their students a practical strategy in organizing the teaching activity efficiently. Books II and III are dedicated to the sharp and flat keys respectively. Each key is presented in a graduated exposition of basic scales in the first position; a cadence of the principal chords; an extended scale; the scale in triads in all possible inversions in both open and closed voicings; a similar treatment of all seventh chords on the scale; ending with a series of resolution studies.
