The Guitar Fretwork Compendium Part I - Derek Fox
Playing the guitar, or any musical instrument, is both a technical endeavor and a form of art. As a painter must be familiar with several different variations of color, the guitarist (and aspiring guitarist) must be familiar with several different variations of sound. If not, the music becomes mundane, boredom sets in, and the aspiring guitarist starts losing interest in the instrument.
The only way to break this rut is to learn something new and add it into the mix. It can be something as simple as a new chord shape, a variation in rhythm, or something as advanced as music theory. There is definitely more to playing the guitar, or writing songs, than chords and scales. There is a collection of technical knowledge behind all of that as well.
With that in mind, I designed this series of books with each part covering a different concept that will give the player that knowledge. But this series is intended for players who already know their standard chords and how to hold their instrument and so forth and who wish to expand their capabilities. It is not for the novice or dreamer who wants to be on stage next week. It is for the serious guitarist that is willing to work.
It is the goal of each part
