Bill Edwards - Fretboard Logic SE, Volumes I & II Combined eBook 2007-07-08 18:31:00 Volume I focuses on the reasoning behind the guitar's unique and largely unappreciated tuning system. The intervallic structure created by the tuning is unlike any other instrument and creates three specific pattern types which are integral to one another and have been termed Chord Forms, Scale Forms and Lead Patterns. There are five basic chord forms, five basic scale forms and two basic lead patterns which are completely independent of any music concepts and solely the result of an ingenious pitch selection by an unknown (and unsung) inventor. Since every other aspect of guitar playing, such as theory, technique, and style, must be expressed through this fretboard interface, no other single area of education can be more fundamental to a guitar player's development. Although the chordal part of this interface has long been recognized as "the CAGED system," Fretboard Logic
presents ALL the aspects as a unified "operating system" for guitar players regardless of stylistic preferences, Read more:eBook
