Synopsis

Fretboard Logic Volume II: The Essential Tonal Toolbox

About this title

About the Author

Author Bill Edwards started learning music on the piano at a young age in the traditional manner, playing classical music and reading standard notation. He became interested in popular music and the guitar in high school but those educational experiences centered around learning rock and roll songs by ear from records, and figuring leads and rhythms out by trial and error. In college, working part time as a music teacher, these dissimilar educational approaches finally came together when a guitar student asked him to show them how he was able to figure things out just by listening to it. The result was a discovery that became the cornerstone of Fretboard Logic, which is that while it has gone unrecognized and unexplained for centuries, the guitar's tuning system produces a separate and unique area of study and puts the instrument into a class by itself. The author took advantage of ongoing advances in personal computer technology and developed his own books and videos which offer innovations in several areas. Bill Edwards still plays guitar and piano every day and is always developing new projects in the fields of music, invention and education.

From Introduction: Chords, scales and arpeggios can be considered the basic building blocks of music and they are all derived from the same origins: the notes in a key. The difference between them is the order in which they are taken and the way they are played.
