By James Hamer

A reference book & learning tool for all guitarists.The book is based around movable shapes for scales, modes & chords. Greatly improve your fretboard knowledge & gain the ability to find any chord or scale, near to hand, wherever you happen to be on the neck.

The Essential Guidebook For Guitar is not a 'how to' book, as James is a strong believer that you can't learn to play an instrument from reading a book alone. It is intended for people who are already comfortable on the instrument, or for use with the guidance of a tutor. It presents knowledge that you can learn & apply, but does not try to deal with 'technique'. It will hopefully help to shed light on the relationship between the modes & scales that previously puzzled you. It is also intended to be a book that will stay with you as an indispensable reference tool throughout all your years of playing.

The book is organized for musicians, by a musician. All of the explanitory/descriptive text is toward the front of the book, whereas all of the actual content is seperated, colour-coded & placed toward the back. This allows for easy reference & helps you to find what you're looking for while also balancing an instrument with the other hand.
