The Developing Guitarist

By Thomas Vanderzyde

The Developing Guitarist
Guitarists at any stage of their musical journey will find value in the cerebral, physical, and temporal theories and techniques discussed throughout this unique book. A crash course for the novice, a goldmine for the intermediate, and a refreshing perspective for the advanced, the material has been carefully curated to help navigate guitarists through the labyrinth of fretboard theory and technique.

Written for the author's sixteen-year-old self, the information in this book is exactly what he would want to be taught if he could start the journey over again. Perfect for anyone hungry for knowledge but unsure of where to turn, The Developing Guitarist is an effective addition to any musical library.

Why buy the book?
In short, this book is designed to bridge the gap between textbook theory and what you hear at a concert or on the radio. Special care has been taken not to tell you what to play, but rather how certain sounds and techniques are achieved through guided analysis. These theories and techniques form a network of knowledge that developed guitarists draw from every day. Pick up a copy today to fast-track your journey and become fluent in the language of guitar!
