This book is aimed at beginners who want to start playing guitar and is a compilation of interviews with singer-songwriter/composer and guitarist Tetsuro Oda, covering topics such as how to play guitar chords and how to compose music. Particularly noteworthy is Oda's introduction of the chord progressions for ZARD's smash hit "Makenaide," his unique chord placement techniques, and his use of the "chord route map"—his signature compositional formula. The book also offers a wealth of Q&A-style tips for improving your guitar playing, including questions like, "How do you judge the quality of a melody you come up with?" and "How do you break a melody rut?", as well as tips for beginners on how to improve your guitar playing, such as, "How do you use arpeggios and strokes when playing accompaniment?" and "What stylish chord placements does Oda recommend?" The latter half of the book also includes a special edition featuring numerous standard chord progression patterns for verses, verses, and choruses, discovered by analyzing the lyrics and chord website "Gakki.me." This book is a must-have for beginner guitarists and a composer's guide to success. Show more
