Methodically selected songs - consistently small steps: Fridolin's Guitar Coach is a new volume of the popular guitar school that can be used both as a play and practice book and as a stand-alone textbook. The guitar coach accompanies anyone who wants to make rapid progress from the first note to two-part playing. Guitar playing from sheet music is learnt as if by chance, as the focus is not on etudes and exercises, but on over 100 songs, folk songs and pop compositions. Explanations of new notes and musical symbols are reduced to references in the musical text and are clearly presented in the appendix of the booklet.

Der zweite Band von "Fridolin goes Pop" beginnt mit zwei leicht gesetzten Traditionals im Feeling eines Ragtime-Blues. Bei allen folgenden Titeln sind die gitarristischen Ansprüche deutlich höher. Neben vielen Lagenwechseln werden Barrégriffe verlangt, zusätzlich Aufschlag- und Abziehbindungen, mehrstimmiges Spiel und ausgearbeitete Akkordzerlegungen. Die in der Popmusik übliche Rhythmik setzt außerdem einen sicheren Umgang mit Synkopen und Off-Beats voraus. Doch dies sollte versierten Gitarristen keine Schwierigkeiten bereiten, zumal die Einspielungen der gut gelungenen Stücke auf der CD dazu einladen, "einfach nur so" gehört zu werden und dadurch zum Mit- und Nachspielen anregen.

The second volume of ‘Fridolin goes Pop’ begins with two easy traditional pieces with a ragtime blues feel. In all the following titles, the guitaristic demands are significantly higher. In addition to many changes of position, barré fingerings are required, as well as upstrokes and downstrokes, polyphonic playing and elaborate chord breakdowns. The rhythms common in pop music also require a confident handling of syncopation and off-beats. However, this should not cause any difficulties for experienced guitarists, especially as the recordings of the well-made pieces on the CD invite you to listen to them ‘just for fun’ and thus encourage you to play along and repeat them. Content: - Bed on the Floor - Going Down the Road Feeling Bad - Miss Molly's Ragtime Cake - If She Is Going Away - Picking Peter & paul - The Greyhound Passage - Turtle Turn - The Thumb Generator - Time-Driver - No Sixes, No Sevens - Latin Grooves, Vorstudien zu Latino Beachbirds - Latino Beachbirds

The desire to play music in a popular style in guitar lessons or in leisure time is widespread. Hans Joachim Teschner's compositions and arrangements fulfil this need. Typical features of pop and rock music, such as syncopation, off-beats, bass lines and common harmonic progressions, characterise the pieces. To ensure that the rhythmic peculiarities do not unnecessarily detract from the fun of playing, the 1st guitar part is set lightly. Most of the songs and pieces can be listened to: simply scan the QR code on the respective piece and off you go! There is a complete version of each of the songs for two guitars and a version with one guitar part missing. So you can play along, add the missing part or simply listen to the pieces. Content: - Freight Train - Slow Walk - Sunny Afternoon - Rock Serenade - Short'nin Bread - Five Hundred Miles - Now She's Singing Again - Penny Stomp - Gospel Waltz - Rock My Soul - Backwater Blues - Rainy Day Blues - School Is Out - Teknok X - Blue Talk - Caribbean Dance - Slide Fingers - Fuzzy Funk - Katango

Fridolin sings and plays: With sometimes cheeky, sometimes contemplative songs, he makes his vocal chords and the six strings of his guitar vibrate. Anyone who joins him will find additional playing material for all levels of beginners' lessons, from the first stroke of empty strings to reaching two-part playing. Intended primarily for younger players, the pieces are suitable for consolidating the respective learning levels.
