Authors Lloyd and Kevin Mattson humorously describe the McGuffey Eclectic QChord Reader as "An Interactive Primer for the Musically Disadvantaged". It covers QChord basics from a non-technical perspective, and is a very simple guide to getting started quickly. Read about a feature in the book - then listen to what it sounds like on the interactive CD - then just play along!
Because the QChord is so rich in features, reading the official manual may be a bit overwhelming for a new musician. Lloyd and Kevin's interactive "show me" approach cuts straight to the chase. They explain and demonstrate very simple techniques that allow even someone new to music to quickly create beautiful music. Learn the basics first, then graduate later to exploring all the QChord's more sophisticated features.
Includes a 36-page comb-bound instruction manual (8 1/2" X 11") with an interactive companion CD. Plus, a bonus! A second CD containing some of author Lloyd's harmonica tunes accompanied by QChord, and author Kevin's guitar/vocals. Instruction manual includes interactive step by step lessons, chord fingering flash cards, midi voice and rhythm charts, and more.
Especially recommended for:
1) New musicians - My first time playing any instrument.
2) Fast starters - Show me the important features first, so I can start playing immediately.
3) Independent types - I want to learn to play any song on my own, without relying on the song cartridges.
4) Show Me types - I don't like to read long instruction manuals; or, I'm confused by the wealth of information in the official manual.
PS. Who's McGuffey? Rev. William Holmes McGuffey published his first famed McGuffey Eclectic Reader in 1836; it was a primer to teach the basic elements of reading to beginning readers. Similarly, the McGuffey Eclectic QChord Reader aspires to teach the basic elements of Q-ing to the new musician.
