Electric Guitar Primer Book by Bert Casey is a unique and very effective beginning guitar book combining popular songs with step by step, easy to follow instructions and works equally well for electric or acoustic guitar. Based on over 25 years of both private and classroom instruction, it includes everything the beginning guitar student needs to start playing right away (strumming chords, rock & roll riffs, easy to understand diagrams & pictures, complete chord chart, scale section, and barre chord section). The accompanying audio CD is in stereo with the guitar on one channel and a full band with vocals on the other.
Bert Casey has been a professional performer and teacher in the Atlanta area for over 30 years. Bert plays several instruments (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, and flute) and has written eight instructional books (Acoustic Guitar Primer, Acoustic Guitar Book 2, Electric Guitar Primer, Bass Guitar Primer, Mandolin Primer, Ukulele Primer, Flatpicking Guitar Songs, and Bluegrass Fakebook) and has made six DVDs (Introduction to Acoustic Guitar, Acoustic Guitar DVD Part 2, Introduction to Electric Guitar, Introduction to Bass Guitar, Introduction to Mandolin, and Ukulele Primer DVD). Bert performed for several years in Atlanta and the Southeast with his bands Home Remedy and Blue Moon.
25 years ago, Bert Casey and Geoff Hohwald started Watch & Learn to help revolutionize music instructional courses by developing well thought out, step by step instructional methods that were tested for effectiveness on beginners before publication. These products, which have dramatically improved the understanding and success of beginning students, have evolved into the Watch & Learn system that continues to set the standard of music instruction today. This has resulted in sales of more than three million products since 1979.
