Editorial Review:

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.




Rating: - It all depends on what you're looking for...
...basically this is a workbook for the "CAGED" system -- a method used to help relate scales to chord patterns...you memorize five different hand shapes corresponding to the C,A,G,E, and D chords...these shapes can be moved up and down the neck to play other chords...session guitarists, in particular, like it because it facilitates modulation from one key to another...jazz guitarists -- Joe Pass was a notable exponent -- like it since it also makes it easier to rapidly find a scale postion while ...

Rating: - just a bad approach
Do you want to be able to communicate with other people about what you're doing, or be able to read and understand any other book on music? If so, this is not for you.

Fretboard Logic is misconceived and leaves guitarists in a ghetto of the author's creation. It teaches guitar playing with an idiosyncratic presentation unique to this book -- it has no shared context with other instruments, authors, or musicians.

It takes little additional effort to learn the information ... Read More

Rating: - Breaking through the fretboard barrier
The bottom line is: this book will do more for your playing confidence than anything else you can invest in (that is, if you don't already have expert knowledge of the fretboard). I have mainly played rhythm until now, but even my band members are amazed at my lead progress and the varieties I add the rhythm. Get it, learn it, and your confidence on the guitar will grow.

Rating: - Great book for intermediate to advanced guitarists
I am very impressed with the content of Fretboard Logic. I am a beginner so actually playing the way presented seems overwhelming right now. I can make my hands stretch to barre with a lot of effort, but it will be a while before I can do it effortlessly. That's why I'd recommend this book for intermediate to advanced, someone who can put the information into practice right away. Beginners need to start with easier stuff. That said, it is a great resource to explain the logic of the fretboard that ... Read More

Rating: - Fretboard Logic SE
I'm finding this book more effective than any other method I've tried to learn and re-learn and practise the basics. I've been playing a few years now and this brought me back down to basics for a refresher. The instructions are conversational and they make sense. Everything is explained in detail, but no too much detail - and all the topics covered are tabbed on the same page.
I've never come across a more comprehensive way to learn or refresh oneself on the basics of playing guitar. ... Read More
