A little-known but revolutionary approach to beginning guitar, the "Duck Soup" Guitar Method has been in print since 1982. It shows six ways to use partial capos to allow greatly simplified but full-sounding guitar chords. It was "replaced" in March 2015 by the "Liberty Guitar Beginner's Book," which shows a new and better way to play these same 30 songs with a different partial capo set-up. It remains available for mostly historical reasons. Most of the songs in Duck Soup Guitar are in the key of E, and in the new book 25 of them have been transposed to better keys (C, G and A) for most to sing in.Total beginners and very young children can strum 3-chord songs with only one and 2-finger chords, in standard tuning. Play 3-chord songs immediately, with no practicing. This book presents a "pre-guitar" experience, and avoids the chronic problems of beginner folk guitar methods. (Standard chords are not that easy, and playing only 3 or 4 of the 6 strings is not very satisfying.) Most chord shapes you learn in Duck Soup Guitar are applicable later once you begin to play "normal" guitar chords. Endorsed and used for years by Music Education and Music Therapy professionals. (This is NOT the Liberty Guitar Method.)

Note-for-note, exact transcriptions of 14 of Harvey Reid's landmark partial capo compositions & arrangements. Varying difficulty, from easy to hard, in TAB and standard notation, with numerous explanations, fingerings, tips and special instructions. This book focuses only on music Reid has played with the most widely-used partial capo, the 3-string "Esus" capo, that clamps 3 inner strings. These pieces have all appeared on his recordings; all but one are played in standard tuning, and all but one are arranged for fingerstyle guitar.The partial capo opens up an exciting new dimension of the guitar, allowing sounds, fingerings and voicings that are not available any other way. Harvey Reid was the first guitarist to write and record music using one, and has been exploring its use since 1976. Capo Inventions is his second book of partial capo arrangements, that appeared 23 years after his original 1983 book Sleight of Hand.
