The Matrix Manual for Guitar: A Practical Approach to the Music You Want to Make

By Craig D. Hillis

Many of the world's greatest guitar players don't read music. Nevertheless, they communicate effectively with their fellow players and seem to get along just fine. The Matrix Manual for Guitar tells you how they do it. In addition to teaching you how to play the guitar, this Manual teaches you how to "speak music" and communicate with your fellow players. In a nutshell, The Matrix Manual teaches you how to be a musician.

In this unique "Matrix" approach, Dr. Craig D. Hillis lays out the fundamentals of performance guitar by focusing on the structural relationships that define the DNA of modern music. By learning these vital connections, you will not only be able to form the chords and play the progressions that you'll need to recreate your favorite tunes; you'll understand how these components all fit together into a large and logical Matrix.

This Matrix enables you to break down the complexities of modern music to assemble a set of simple concepts that demystify the terms and techniques that professional guitarists use on stage and in the studio. You will soon be speaking their language, using their techniques, playing the music you love, and writing your own songs.
