Schott Music Mastering the Fretboard

Total control, safe navigation and creative freedom on the fretboard are the clear goals and results of this first harmony theory specially designed for guitar. The professional guitarist and experienced pedagogue Frank Doll will explain the basics of rock and jazz to you in an easy to understand and practical way based on the special features of the guitar.

Exercises at different levels of difficulty will give you an overview of strings, frets and connections and allow even advanced guitarists a new approach to the instrument. The included CD contains tracks to accompany the exercises.
