It is today, enjoying a popularity second to no other instrument. The modern players who are creating a faror in musical circles with their guitar playing, have developed a style in which the plectrum plays a prominent part. It is for that reason that the publisher has spared no expense or pains in publishing this method for the plectrum or pick style of guitar playing. No greater exponent of this spectacular style of gui- tar playing has ever lived than Nick Lucas. The ensuing pages are the result of painstak- ing labor to present, in a simple manner, the artistry of this guitarist. This stethod is there fore, presented with the greatest of confidence in its popularity and usefulness, ‘The lessons are so easy at the start, that it will he found a pleasure to follow the les If into the more difficult soles and studies, the student will find with surprise,that he or she is able to play the guitar with a- bility. Every style of playing is illustrated in the lessons. Single string salo— chord solo— sons step by step and as the beanty of the guitar unfolds its Bo by se: ty Bu solo with accompaniment— songs with accompaniment — dance playing as required by the mod- ern orchestra — bewildering strokes — breaks — jazz in its most modern form, ett., etc. The student is advised to procure as good a guitar as possible, for it is never advisa - ble to try and make a poor instrument do the work of a good one,and if the guitar is difficult to finger or found not true in the positions, the student will waste considerable valuable time in many ways. The plectrum gives the guitar the required added power, and the modern pick style guitar player will find his or her services very much in demand The Publisher co, Copyright MCMXXX, by Nicomedo.

To express music we use charac - ters called notes, named after the first seven letters of the alphabet viz: A-B-C-D-B-F-G ‘These notes are written on a staff of five lines. There are also four spaces found between the lines. The lines and spaces are named after the letters A-B-C-D-B-P-G, and notes placed at those lines are named in that manner Clefs ‘There are several clef signs used, but the most widely used are the treble @ and the Tass 3!

The first thing to do is to acquire the cor: reot pitch and learn to tune from a piano, if one is available. ‘The strings of the guitar are 2 to a piano in following manner: ‘Tune E or 6th string to this note, using Bass Clef. Aordth Dor 4th Gora = Bor 2nd Bor Ast ——: : They are, however, written in the followings manner. This, it will be nuticed, to be an octave lower then the’ notes sound. Bor én AorSth Dor 4th GorSra___Bor2nd___Bor ist = en = z > Another way of tuning is by the use of a pitch pipe Which may be bought at any first class mas store. However, one of the most common ways, is to tune from the lower B or 6th string: T) Farely guts out of tune. If the lower E is tuned to the proper pitch, the remainder of the strings m be tumed from it as follows: Place the finger at the Bth fret on the lower E string. ‘The note ths formed is an A anri tune the next or Sth string to that. ‘Then, place the finger on the Sth fret of the and the note thus formed is a D. Be careful in turning the Keys that the string be mot made too tie’ or it will break. A good way is to hum each tone as wanted and then carefully set the string te match that tone. After the 4th or D string is tuned, hold down the Sth fret of that string and tune the G stringy to that. Hold the G down at the 4th fret and tune B or 2nd string and huld the Bat th th fet and tune the fst or E string, Now place the plectrum between the thumb and first finger of the right hand. Do 1 hold-tootightly. This cut shows about the proper size of the plectrum. An explana from a teacher will be of great assistance.
