Carl Fischer Richard Pick: School of Guitar The Guitar in Pedagogy, Practice, Performance
Editions Orphée presents a new edition of the Richard Pick School of Guitar method, presented in three parts; completely re-engraved and further edited to replace 497-00313. Rather than functioning as a traditional method book, the School of Guitar is a tool to be used by both student and teacher, aiming to provide both with practical material which can be to understand the complex symbology used in guitar music. Book I is an overview of the problems encountered in the pedagogy of the guitar; meant to help teachers in formulating for themselves and for their students a practical strategy in organizing the teaching activity efficiently. Books II and III are dedicated to the sharp and flat keys respectively. Each key is presented in a graduated exposition of basic scales in the first position, a cadence of the principal chords, an extended scale, the scale in triads in all possible inversions in both open and closed voicings, a similar treatment of all seventh chords on the scale, ending with a series of resolution studies.
