Turning Tones into Notes

Notes are the building blocks of both scales and chords, which, in turn, are the two major components of guitar theory.

This part will introduce you to just what guitar theory is and also, more importantly, to what it isn’t. Next, you will learn about the 12 notes that make up music and discover how easy it is to find any of them at any place along the fretboard of your guitar.

Finally, you’ll get a quick tutorial on how to read the chord charts, fretboard charts, and guitar tablature used in this book, to help you get the most from your efforts as you dive deeper into your studies on guitar theory.
