If your attempts at learning the guitar have been
frustrating and you always thought, "there has to be a better way," then
this is your book. Most books treat the guitar like it's no different
than a keyboard...and never unlock the basic secret every guitarist must
understand: the brilliant organization behind the guitar's tuning. Bill
Edwards changes all of that. He shows it doesn't have to be that hard to
understand the guitar. Fretboard Logic doesn't try to teach standard
music theory, per se. You can learn that anywhere (and you should).
Instead, it teaches you how to use that theory and apply it to the
guitar and its unique tuning. It's not the "only" guitar or music book
you'll ever need. It's just the most important! And yes, you will still
have to practice. But it's a lot easier when you can see what you're
doing, rather than just using what the author calls the "bootstrap"
method (rote memorization of scales & chords) or the "academic" method
(trying to understand the guitar using basic building blocks of music
theory without ever seeing the "big picture"). I can't recommend it
highly enough. |

Let’s face it – in the music world, guitars set the
standard for cool. Since the 1950s, many of the greatest
performers in rock ‘n’ roll, blues, and country have played the guitar.
Playing electric guitar can put you out in front of a band, where you’re
free to roam, sing, and make eye contact with your adoring fans. Playing
acoustic guitar can make you the star of the vacation campfire
sing-along or allow you to serenade that special someone. And playing
any kind of guitar can bring out the music in your soul and become a
valued lifetime hobby. |
