Written by a guitarist for the guitarist with step-by-step instruction from over 40 years of teaching.

Easy notation, as a visual aid, is included with the lessons for those who want to learn to read. Everything that is played on the guitar will be played within the seven mode patterns. Chords, melodies, harmonies, solo's and improvisations will all be played in these seven "playgrounds." There are five basic chords that all chords are derived from. Each of these five basic chords are presented with their variations in The Chord Guide. Now the guitarist has five chord form choices for every chord to play Learn the rules of the guitar game first, then forget them and play intuitively. Guitar Logic: Patterns For Creative Expression is full of guitar information that has been logically laid out in step-by-step instruction for a lifetime of pure guitar playing pleasure. Playing guitar from a pattern map is far more intuitive than intellectual configuration. The patterns can be used as a reference guide for songwriting and recording or easily memorized for on the spot improvisation. Integrating Blues, Jazz, Rock and Country improvization into the Western musical system the author has simplified the use of scales eliminating the many conflicting and confusing theories that have never really made any sense. Being that these scale patterns are so closely related to each other, there are basically only seven patterns to learn - this is as simple as it gets. These patterns will fulfill every musical need the guitarist requires. The Chord Guide in Chapter 19 is the first logically presented chord reference book that actually works. With five chord choices it's now intuitively easy to find the perfect chord that fits into your arrangement. Every guitarist should have Guitar Logic: Patterns For Creative Expression on their music stand |
Contributor Bio(s): Epperson, Fletcher Burge: - Fletcher Epperson studied classical and jazz guitar with Cal Wilson at MDCC during 1970-72 while studying music theory in Music Education. After playing in various folk and rock bands Fletcher became serious about the guitar in 1997 after a creative period of original songs presented themselves to him. To play and record the different parts more theory and technique were required. It was at this point where the music theory learned in college was applied in a unique way that is appropriate for the guitar fretboard. To remember the lessons he began writing them down and Guitar Logic: Patterns For Creative Expression was born. Excited with the wealth of creative possibilities of the guitar, Fletcher could not keep these secrets to himself, so here they are, the same lessons that he learned from and is teaching to his many students, is now being shared with you. |
