Rating: - A very informative book but has some omissions...
I am new to the guitar and wanted to get up to speed as quickly as possible by learning the fretboard and the relationship of notes and scales up and down the neck. I am often impatient with mundane workbooks of any kind, but so far, the time investment in this book has been worth it.

There is (what I consider to be) a serious omission between the first six chapters and the seventh chapter. All of a sudden the exercises ask you to label the pentatonic box shape numbers (1-5) on the fretboard ... Read More

Rating: - another great MI title!
from a purely academic perspective, a guitarist would have a hard time doing better than this bk. like building a wall brick by brick, every chapter adds to the last, re-enforcing the previous lessons as they are applied to new ones. this allows one to build a strong foundation from which to expand understanding of the mechanics of guitar theory and how to apply that info in a functional way.

Rating: - Excellent systematic method for learning the fretboard
I have been fascinated by the guitar for over 20 years. As such, I have built up a large library of lessons in various forms.

Consequently, I understand some of the confusion noted in other reviews. I encourage beginners to stick with it because being able to break ... Read More

Rating: - The fretboard is your friend
I have an entire bookcase full of music theory books and how to play the guitar. Not one of them has approached the topic like this book does. I would not recommend this book for beginners who don't have a teacher or mentor. Sort of like trying to visualize driving a car by looking at the mechanical pieces. You need a foundation for it to really start turning the gears (IMHO). But for people like me who have played for 25 years but are tired of memorizing the different scales and chords and feeling "boxed ... Read More
