A curriculum that will be a turning point in acoustic guitar lessons!
Combination technique performance textbook

The common deficiency that most people who have played or learned the acoustic guitar for a long time feel is that they have not learned it systematically.
A common regret is that 'I wish I had learned it a little earlier' or 'I wish I had learned it a little more systematically.'

Rather than being a personal problem, these issues appear to be part of the process of propagation that has occurred since the acoustic guitar was introduced to the country.
I think one of the biggest reasons is that the system has been delivered in a relatively less systematic and organized manner compared to other instruments.


In order to blow away the regrets of such acoustic guitar players in one fell swoop, the author published “Correct Acoustic Guitar Combination Technique Playing Basics” as a follow-up to “Correct Acoustic Guitar Textbook.”

In particular, it was judged necessary to fully inform and systematically teach the combination technique that can bring out the greatest strengths and charms of the guitar as an instrument, so the outline and principles were described in detail, and it was systematically systematized so that any instructor who uses this book as a textbook can achieve the same effect.

The 40-70 age group that is the center of acoustic guitar
The acoustic guitar textbook you've been longing for!

《Correct Acoustic Guitar Combination Playing Technique Textbook》 focuses on learning the principles through easy-to-understand techniques so that even beginners as well as experienced players can easily understand and approach them.

In particular, songs preferred by the representative generation of acoustic guitar players, those in their 40s to 70s, were selected as example songs, and various playing methods were included so that players can practice or progress through the stages by selecting the playing method according to their skill level, allowing them to compare and practice various playing methods.


If you learn the example songs and performance techniques included for each lesson point step by step, your ability to interpret and decompose every note will improve, and you will be able to play the intro and interlude of your favorite songs on the spot as if they were instrumental pieces, just by opening a songbook or two that anyone would likely have at home, without the need for specially arranged tablature.
