[edit] German Wikibook Translation

This is a simple translation by babelfish.altavista.com So there exist many errors. Please help to translate this articles into a god English, and make a new page of them.

Please consider: the author thinks and writes in German. He learned English in school but he have not enough practice to write fluently. He tries to write in a understandable English, but his borders are set. if it is not safe in the case of a translation, he tries, to explain these. In this case he use 'Inverted comma' set a reformulation (? easy translation) in parentheses. All the articles must be reformulated , and be adapted to the English. The courses follow a "curriculum". This will be introduced soon on the discussion-page.

The first section divides itself into two courses.

Campfire-diploma: six standard chords ( A - D - G - C - Em - Am) and 4 easy rhythm-patter
Folk-diploma: (? from folk-song) six more standard chords ( F - Dm - E - H7 - G7 - D7 ) simple picking and some variations of the rhythm-patter

This are the basis. After this, it can be continued with

Ballade-diploma: more cords with sus4 sus2 7 j7 add6..., picking, simple walking bass, hammering...
Rock-diploma: bare-cords, power cords, rhythm

It doesn't matter with which of both it to begin.

Both courses can be supplemented by

Rock-ballade-diploma: combined bare-cords with optional notes (add6, 7, j7...), walking bass and so on.

From this foundations it can divide into most different sections (jazz - blues - classic - e-guitar - finger-style)

I have translated and merged some content from the first lesson on the German page. I will continue, but we need more volunteers to help with more translating. Please translate content from whatever is currently on this page to an appropriate spot, and if all of the content is already in the English wikibook, then please babelfish a new page for someone else to work on. --NickPenguin 01:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
