Since I’m going to be teaching the Fall Session of Rock Band at one of my studios, I created a new ROCK BAND page (under FOR MY STUDENTS). It includes materials such as “Notes on the Low E and A Strings”, “12-Bar Blues in G, D, A, and Am”, “Strumming Rhythms Index, Book 1 Summary”, “TNT by AC/DC”, and an easy version of “Nothing Else Matters by Metallica”. I will continue to add materials (mostly songs) as I finish them. All of the materials that are instrument-specific will still be found on my GUITAR, BASS GUITAR, and DRUM SET pages.

For Drum Set, I moved 12-Bar Blues from my Recital Songbook to my Method Book, since I have 12-Bar Blues in my Ukulele, Guitar, and Bass Guitar Method Books, not in the Recital Songbooks. There is a version at the end of each Level that incorporates what the students have learned up to that point. I posted new versions of Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The Guitar and Ukulele Recital Songbooks, Book 1 are now ready to sell. I posted a PDF of the first 6 songs so that students can still try try them out before deciding if they want to buy them. The PDFs also include some blank pages for songwriting, and there are still the recordings of songs 1 to 5 to listen to and/or play along with.

PDFs of all of these materials can be found under the FOR MY STUDENTS tab, on the ROCK BAND, GUITAR, DRUM SET, and UKULELE pages. As always, please let me know if you use any of these teaching materials with your students, and if you find them helpful, or if you have any questions or comments.
