Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method - Grade 2 by Mel Bay. For guitar. Methods. Modern Guitar Method. Learn To Play. Beginning-Intermediate. Instructional book. Instructional text, standard guitar notation and chord names. 48 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.93201).

ISBN 9780871663573. With instructional text, standard guitar notation and chord names. Learn To Play. 8.75x11.75 inches.

Grade 2 explores more complex rhythms in carefully graded solo and duet settings with parallel lessons in music theory- just enough to keep students up to speed in terms of what they are expected to play. The book begins with a review of playing in the key of C major but soon goes to F major/D minor followed by D major/B minor. Written in standard notation only. A companion double CD set is also available for this book.
