Rhythm Guitar Books 1-3 all in one package! The Rhythm Guitar series focuses on chords and accompaniment styles. Rhythm Guitar 1 starts you off with simplified chords that mostly require just one or two fingers. In this book, you'll learn to follow lead sheets and rhythm charts, and you'll learn to read easy rhythms. Rhythm Guitar 2 focuses on open chords, strumming, and fingerstyle patterns. You'll begin by learning full versions of the simplified chords you learned in Rhythm Guitar 1 and then expand from there, learning new chords, strumming, and fingerstyle patterns as you go. You'll also learn to read more complex rhythms, add bass runs into your playing, and follow repeats, D.C. and D.S. markings. The back of Rhythm Guitar 2 includes a reference section with chord diagrams and accompaniment patterns to try. Rhythm Guitar 3 takes a deep dive into moveable chords. Some of the chords are bar chords, but most of them involve string muting to eliminate open strings. After Rhythm Guitar 3, you'll be able to play chords all over the neck without a capo.
