(Fretted). If you play rock, blues, country, pop, soul/funk, heavy metal, jazz, or folk, here are all the strumming and picking patterns you need. Over 150 patterns and nearly 100 rhythmic grooves help you cover any musical situation. Styles are cross-referenced. The book includes tablature, music, and a recording of every pattern, plus tips on equipment and effects.
If you wondering why should buy Fred Sokolow's books versus other guitar instructional books, the reason is because Sokolow's approach is significantly better. Complex sounding techniques are explained in detail and the content builds in a manner which allows players to improve on several levels (technical/theoretical) at the same time. I recommend you use this book to gain exposure to techniques featured in a genre of interest like country for example, and then dive into the details of that sound with a "complete guide to" book- in this case The Complete Guide to Country (Sokolow). Great book.
