Lesson Book 2 provides a seamless transition from Book 1. It introduces three-string chords along with the natural notes on strings four, five, and six. Additional new concepts include eighth notes, chromatics (sharps, flats and naturals), pick-up notes, ties, and rests. Students are encouraged to strum chords to accompany the melody whenever possible. Many optional teacher duets are included. (Students may enjoy playing the teacher duet parts as well!)
