Just for Lefties! Unlock Your Imagination and Start Making New Music - YOUR music - with Complete Knowledge of How Chords, Scales and Melodies Are All Related. Seeing Music on the Left-Handed Guitar is the first book of its kind: Using an easy, visual method to teach practical music theory so you can make new music with confidence. Learn music, FAST! Step inside the mind of successful guitar players. Great guitarists develop an ability to "see" the music they play on the fretboard of the instrument. They see their music as a simple relationship of shapes and locations. As easily as you already can distinguish a triangle from a square or a circle, guitar players see music on the fretboard of their instrument. It's this EASY: Just as you can draw the basic shapes of triangle, square or circle from memory, guitar players visually "draw" chord shapes on their ­fingerboards, then move those shapes easily, creating new music. MASTER your music: Guitarists ­find this "visual roadmap" on the fretboard a powerful tool, making improvisation or transposing a song to another key quite easy. Your ­fingers will follow these roadmaps to get to the music. Seeing Music on the Left-Handed Guitar will show you how to see music as simple shapes and use these shapes to quickly and con­fidently create and play music.
