About Complete Steel Guitar Method
Product Description Now complete in one volume, this time-honored method addresses the six-string lap steel guitar in E7 tuning. This approach incorporates both note reading and melody chord playing. The melody chord approach is the one utilized and made famous by New Orleans' great guitarist and teacher, Roger Filiberto. This book contitutes one of the most practical, well-written methods available for the lap steel guitar; it teaches techniques and chord harmony applicable to Hawaiian, bottleneck/slide and even resonator styles. About the Author Roger Filiberto needs no introduction to the guitar world, as his students are some of the finest artists in America today. Roger started teaching tenor banjo in 1923. With his experience of playing in the Dixieland music era, he quickly became aware that the succession of chords C, E7, A7, D7, G7, back to C, followed by C7, F, Fm, and then ending with C, A7, D7, G7 to C would train almost any interested student to cope with the faking required of banjo players in that era. He taught this sequence of chords in all reasonable keys to all of his students. Beginning in the mid-1920's, Roger taught countless students to play banjo, steel guitar, Spanish guitar, and bass at his studio in New Orleans. After many years of teaching, he published his first book, the Melody Chord System for Spanish Guitar, with Forster in 1936. This publication was followed by a similar book for guitar, Chord Construction and Harmony as Applied to the Guitar, published by Gibson. The Gibson steel guitar book was later republished by Mel Bay Publications, Inc., with a comprehensive one-volume edition issued in 1968 under the title Complete Steel Guitar Method.
