Short description

A guitar-based guide for the absolute beginner starting with the physics of sound through the basics of music theory, listening exercises and finally on to constructing complex chord progressions and scales and a full understanding of how popular songs are constructed.

Extended description

When I began learning I could not find a single book like this that began with absolute basics and went on to explain chords and music theory behind it in a clear and concise manner. I had no access to a piano – just a beat-up Epiphone and a tuning fork so I decided to construct this book around playing and listening exercises on the guitar adding chord shapes only when needed to progress the development of the music theory. This book will not teach you to write scores nor reproduce guitar riffs using tablature but at the end of it you will be able to construct and analyse chords progressions and have a thorough understanding of the songwriter’s art.
