  Guitar for Beginners - How to...

  Welcome to Guitar for Beginners. This book explains in a comprehensive yet simple way, the fundamentals of how to play guitar for beginners. With over 150 photographic examples, illustrations and purpose made diagrams, the book also includes 42 downloadable mp3 tracks.
  Some subjects are important for a beginner guitarist to understand sooner rather than later, so these are covered in detail, such as techniques for left and right hand, using a plectrum, alternate picking, basic music theory, basic scale and chord construction, fretboard layout and how to navigate it, chord changes, strumming, and  more.
  -  Guitar Melodies
  Play and learn guitar with completely original musical pieces, making the process practical and  enjoyable. These come in various styles like Pop, Blues, Jazz, Country and Rock (to hear some samples of the music, please click the link in the eBook preview just after the contents). Each  musical piece includes an audio demonstration and a backing track for you to play over. The  commonly used system for reading music for guitar, known as tablature, is clearly explained and used throughout. As tablature does not indicate rhythm however, rhythm numbers have been added  underneath guitar tablatures to assist and get you straight into playing music.
  - Playing Chords
  Changing between chords and strumming are approached separately at first so you can develop coordination in each hand. They are then brought together, starting with easy exercises, getting gradually more advanced until there is a rhythm guitar musical piece to play.
  - Music Theory
  The major scale, minor scale, pentatonic scales and basic chord construction are explained in terms of the fretboard and are reinforced by being used in the musical pieces, to put the theory into context.
  -  Reading Rhythm
  Musical notation almost always features above guitar tablature and this book is no exception. For this reason an entire chapter is dedicated to reading rhythm from notation. This will give you a fuller understanding of how to use it  alongside tablature.
  - Further Techniques
  Further guitar techniques are also explored including power chords, movable barre chords, palm muting, basic lead guitar techniques and improvising. All include musical pieces.
  - What Else?
  Each chapter ends with a set of questions to revise your knowledge. All answers are at the back of the book, along with advice on how to practice guitar and a handy chart for all major scales and their note names.
  Get on your way to becoming a skilled guitarist with this comprehensive guide on how to learn guitar. Grab your copy today!

  Most Famous Silent Film Actors...

  Editors Charles River

  Only a select few actors become international stars in their time, but none had as unique a career as Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin was the first true film star, and he managed to do so even when films were still silent. He has been honored with too many awards to count, and the fact that his name remains instantly recognizable nearly a century after his first film is a testament to his influence. Chaplin is known for the singular blend of pathos and humor evinced by his films, and it is not uncommon for audiences to laugh and cry at alternate points of a Chaplin film, a trait that continues to endear audiences even to this day. 
  In the 1920s, the burgeoning movie industry was starting to come into its own, and alongside actor and director Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton was at the peak of Hollywood. It’s no surprise that Keaton was so effective in silent films, because he had been practicing comedy in his family’s vaudeville acts as “The Little Boy Who Can’t Be Damaged”, becoming a popular performer by the age of 5. Indeed, his physical form of comedy, which initially involved having his father throwing him around the stage, translated well onto the screen, and some of his slapstick and other comic gags remain legendary even today, in part because Keaton practiced his own stunts.  
  Everything about Rudolph Valentino, from his body to the characters he played, was exotic. His career may have been abbreviated by his premature death at the age of 31, but Valentino popularized the (somewhat racist) stereotype of the “Latin lover” in Hollywood, and even his name was markedly more out of the ordinary than those of other actors. In an era dominated by hyper-masculine actors like Douglas Fairbanks, or comedians such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Valentino had a more ethnic and mysterious appeal, and he was lusted after by women to a degree that remains unsurpassed in the industry.
