Book excerpt: “All the books out now telling you how to play don`t mean a thing. What you feel is what you should be playing, not something someone else wrote down. All I can say is learn the fundamentals on your guitar, get to know your guitar, and don`t get a big head. There`s always going to be someone else better. Just play what you know, what`s inside of you” Pee Wee Crayton “Guitar Player”, July 1977 This book is all about fundamentals - intervals and chords. Congratulations, you have a new amazing hobby - guitar! You already memorized basic chords or played few favorite songs. Now you want to understand more about chords. What is actually behind C Major chord in a simple handy position on the first fret? Why the same chord is also located on the third fret? Where can I find more C Major chords on the neck, and how many these chords totally on the neck? Intervals, triads chord theory looks boring and complex? For me - too. After reading the book you’ll be able to build Minor, Major and Dominant chords from any root note on the fretboard. For most cases - this is more than enough at the beginning of your guitar journey. No more learning by rote, just understanding through a visualization and practice. What exactly is behind Minor, Major and Dominant chords? What are their basic building blocks, and how can I create my own shape of the chord if I forget the chord diagram? The chord theory is not a rocket science. This book explains it through the very simple bricks - the intervals. You are the guitarist, and that’s why you want to understand the chord theory using the fretboard. Not the piano keyboard, as many other books referring to. The expected result will be much deeper if you practice all the concepts with your instruments in a hand and notebook with a pencil. Book diagrams -> finger memory -> singing the notes -> draw on your own. This is the fundamental way of learning basic music concepts. Every chapter demonstrates one of the elements of chord construction. Finally, we’ll put together all the pieces in one picture. And you’ll grow your skill. You can choose any direction in a world of guitar in future - rhythm guitar or solo. And you1ll see these basic elements everywhere.
