Additional Details

Most solos use the basic “bass note/strum” of Carter-style technique with melodies integrated into common chord patterns. Others feature “the arpeggio strum,” a beautiful chord melody technique. Along the way you’ll explore transposing solos from one key to another, changing and mixing meter (3/4 to 4/4), soloing in more than one octave, playing a solo with others as a round, and more!

Customer feedback:
“I purchased your Christmas Favorites for Solo Guitar in early November and was able to master most of the songs by Christmas; although, at slower tempos. We had great fun as a family singing the songs on Christmas and everybody enjoyed the arrangements. Thank you for such a great reference. It allowed me to integrate my guitar playing into the family for the first time. Next year they will be up to tempo.” D.B. (USA)

If you want to play melodies on the guitar it makes sense to know how scales are constructed and how to play them. This video will get you started with a simple C scale.

If you live in the USA:

Priority Mail: Priority Mail is the fastest option. It usually takes between two and three business days to arrive on average. (The 2-3 day delivery time is not guaranteed. If you need a guaranteed delivery, email us at contact@musixnow.com to ask about Express Mail.)

If your order is under 16 oz., it can be shipped for the minimum Priority Mail flat rate, which is currently $8.95. Most of our book/CD sets can be sent at the Priority Mail flat rate. (For book/CD sets like “Gypsy Swing & Hot Club Rhythm” we can often ship two sets for the flat rate price.)

If your order weighs over 16 oz., the Priority Mail rate is calculated by both weight and how far the package has to travel. Our shopping cart will calculate the amount based on where you live. (For example, a two pound package shipped to Palo Alto, CA, will cost $9.25. The same package shipped to Jacksonville, FL will cost over $16.10.)

First Class Mail: If your order weighs just a few ounces, for example our Dawg Picks, we send it via First Class Mail. First Class Mail usually takes around three days to arrive. For slightly faster service, you can select Priority Mail.

Media Mail: Media Mail is restricted to sending only printed matter such as books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Regular merchandise (such as Dawg Picks) may not be mixed with books, CDs or DVDs. Media Mail is much less expensive than First Class or Priority mail: currently only $3.49 for the first pound. Media Mail usually takes about 7- 10 days to two weeks to arrive.
