Product Description

The Special Edition is the first two volumes of the Fretboard Logic guitar series combined with a special discount. Part One deals with the pattern organization of the fretboard which results from the guitar's unique tuning system. Part Two teaches the tone groups of music - Chords, Scales and Arpeggios - by building them in the context of this pattern organization, and thereby eliminating the usual guesswork and rote memorization associated with these areas of a guitarist's education. This alone can take years off the learning curve. Combined, the two parts form a solid foundation by which a guitarist can intelligently pursue the music styles of their own choosing, and play them on the guitar types which they prefer.

I cant express the excitement I feel as I am getting to understand the guitar fretboard in a very real sense. My musical goals are now within reach and I have a way of getting there. At some point, while working through the second book, I will start putting together chord solos and working on finding a voice and style of my own... I decided to learn everything you offer in your books. Everything in your books has a useful purpose and I thank you for it. The comments from other customers in your books are NOT an exaggeration, they are right on target.

Good Guitar Book
Good book, well laid out, gave me a bunch of info that takes the mystery out of learning the guitar.

I thought this was a great book untill...
I read the book "blues you can use". "blues you can use" has a much more complete presentaion of the 5 standard pentatonic positions. It also has tons of exercises, and a CD with exercise played. "fretboard logic" is just text and scales..I read "fretboard logic" first and thought it was pretty good, but "blues you can use" really puts it to shame... (and no, I am in no way affiliated w/ either author).

Great idea, novel insights, not for everyone
If you're stuggling to piece together advanced chord forms and lead positions, this book may help you reach that "a-ha!" moment when things fall into place. It's not for everyone. It's entirely theoretical (no applications/exercises), dense, and bone-dry. Kinda like a calculus book for those studying music theory on guitar. And it really needs a copy editor. But the insights have helped me a bit.
