Bill Edwards - Fretboard Logic SE, Volumes I & II Combined eBook

Volume I focuses on the reasoning behind the guitar's unique and largely unappreciated tuning system. The intervallic structure created by the tuning is unlike any other instrument and creates three specific pattern types which are integral to one another and have been termed Chord Forms, Scale Forms and Lead Patterns. There are five basic chord forms, five basic scale forms and two basic lead patterns which are completely independent of any music concepts and solely the result of an ingenious pitch selection by an unknown (and unsung) inventor. Since every other aspect of guitar playing, such as theory, technique, and style, must be expressed through this fretboard interface, no other single area of education can be more fundamental to a guitar player's development. Although the chordal part of this interface has long been recognized as "the CAGED system," Fretboard Logic presents ALL the aspects as a unified "operating system" for guitar players regardless of stylistic preferences, technical considerations or guitar type.
Volume II presents the three basic tonal elements of music in the context of the fretboard pattern organization of Volume I. The tonal materials available to a musician come from note groupings. Groups of notes can be expressed only two ways: as played simultaneously or consecutively. Groups of notes that are played simultaneously are termed chords and those that are played consecutively are called scales or modes. The third category consists of a hybrid whereby chords are played like scales, known as arpeggios. Chords, scales and arpeggios are not music by themselves but are the tonal materials that the musician uses to produce it.
