More about this title

About the Artist: Trapt

Trapt rose to prominence in the early 2000s as part of the post-grunge and alternative rock wave. The band's direct approach to songwriting and energetic live performances earned them a devoted following and multiple rock radio hits. Their music balances accessibility with genuine musicianship, making their catalog a natural fit for guitarists developing their rock repertoire.

Why we love this

Rock songs that work equally well in a guitar lesson or a full ensemble setting tend to stick around, and "New Beginning" is the kind of accessible pop-rock track that motivates students without requiring advanced technique or obscure tunings. The TAB format removes guesswork and lets guitarists focus on tone, phrasing, and feel rather than wrestling with standard notation.

What to expect

Optimistic and driven, with the kind of melodic hooks and rhythmic drive that make pop-rock so satisfying to play. The energy is immediate and earned through solid musicianship rather than complexity.

Who it's for

Guitar students in rock and pop contexts who are ready to tackle contemporary material beyond beginner methods. This works for private lesson students, ensemble guitarists, and players building a setlist for performance or recital.

How to get the most out of it

  • Reference the original recording to lock in the rhythmic pocket. Trapt's songs rely on groove as much as individual notes.
  • Pay attention to dynamics throughout. The difference between verse and chorus depends as much on dynamics and touch as it does on which notes you're playing.
  • Use the TAB to confirm position shifts and string choices, then work toward playing without looking at the tab to build muscle memory and stage confidence.

How to use it

Program this alongside other contemporary rock or pop standards in a guitar ensemble setting, or assign it to intermediate students as part of a unit on modern songwriting and production. It works equally well as a stand-alone recital piece or as part of a themed program exploring early 2000s rock.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing guitar TAB with accuracy
  • Translating recorded tone and dynamics to the fretboard
  • Maintaining rhythmic consistency in pop-rock grooves
  • Understanding song structure through performance of verse, chorus, and bridge sections
