by Hal Leonard is a great publishing house. We like their GuitarInstructor.com website and we’re totally over the moon for their fine “Play Along” series of books and bundled CDs.
The Play Along series gives you some really great songs to “play along with” as you master a new song using the musical notation and guitar TABs in the book.
The CD bundled with the book is your full band in a backing track! You can give your own fine performance right from the comfort of your own home.
Here are some of my favorite books from Hal Leonard’s Play Along:
The Play Along series by Hal Leonard is quite vast and it trembles many musical tastes from Rock to Blues to Country to Folk to Soul to Heavy Metal.
You can Play Along using electric guitar, piano or acoustic guitar and each book and CD cost around $12.00USD.
I
don’t
know how people learned to play — and enjoy! — the guitar so
fast 30 years ago without the joy of “playing along with your favorite band” just by learning a few notes
and chords and letting Hal Leonard handle the rest!
There’s something else to add to my to buy list, David. I appreciate it! 🙂
There is so much great stuff out there to teach you and help get you up to speed really fast, Gordon. Learning music is so much more fun now than it was a generation ago.
It sounds very interesting, does it work the karaoke for vocals?
Yes, I think it would work for karaoke, too. The lyrics are included in the books.
