Rhythmic Patterns to Accompany the Dances of Universal Peace for Guitar and Other Instruments.

Using 13 well-known Dances of Universal Peace, Anahata's clear instructions guide the student through different rhythmic patterns of guitar strumming which can be used for each Dance, or portions of each Dance. The rhythms are notated in the booklet for visual learning and the guitar playing on the CD is crystal clear and easy to follow. The rhythms can be adapted for playing with two hands for drummers. This is a great learning tool for anyone who has had little professional music instruction (or instruction which was given many years ago). It will quickly and easily improve their guitar playing to respond with greater flexibility to the atmosphere of different Dances.
