The Passport to Play Guitar series seeks to instil a love of music by encouraging students to listen and play together. Authors Tim Pells and Jens Franke have impressive track records as esteemed performers and educators. This series is aimed at beginner and intermediate classical or acoustic players, and will appeal particularly to teenagers. Adults will no doubt also welcome the contemporary and accessible material. The books come with PDF accompaniments for a teacher or more advanced player. Students also need to download the MP3 backing-tracks.
Each volume comprises around 20 pieces printed in both notation and TAB form. Influenced by styles and cultures across the world, the music includes blues and jazz from North America, and folk and traditional music from Europe, Africa and Latin America. Most of the pieces are original, and written to particular musical and technical parameters. Where we are offered an arrangement of a classic, there's often an entertaining twist.
