Book Reviews of Guitar Fretboard Workbook
Book Review: Amazing book. It will help you play better.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll keep this short since there are already so many 5-star reviews for this product.
This book is the one. If you want to learn the notes on the fretboard and all minor/major scales and modes and chords and practical music theory, this is the book to get. It's not terribly long, but it has a lot of useful information and doesn't waste any time. Many times through the book, it will have you fill out a series of 8-10 fretboard diagrams with some new idea you just learned, then it will ask you to play what you just wrote. I really think this is such an effective method, yet it's so simple. It also asks you to say important ideas aloud so as to learn them better.
Book Review: Great Foundation
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is 22 chapters. It starts with very basic single string study and quickly gets into scales, chords and arpeggios. It categorizes most every combination. The fun part is that you are filling in the dots in the diagram. It feels like solving crosswords. There is minimal writing by the author which is good. It is mostly work out on your part. The correct answers are printed in the index. The last exercise is basically review of everything. It took me over two years to finish this thin book. I gave it five star because I liked this workbook a lot and learned too much from it so gave two extra copies to my buddies. I am now keeping it as a reference book.Book Review: GIT in 1992
Summary: 5 Stars
I attended GIT in Hollywood and the author of this book was one of my top 5 teachers there. Barett really straightened me out on whats what and walks it like he talks it . There are ways to teach guitar in which the teacher looks impressive but you don't learn much, and then there are ways to teach guitar where the teacher looks impressive AND you learn the no excuses real world of chords and scales . Barett ties it all together with the guitar itself as your "chart" and any true attempt at learning his methods can change you from hack to musician. And he plays "Jessica" real good.

Book Review: Complete Source
Summary: 5 Stars
I have played the guitar for many years and performed in a number of bands and was completely self-taught. I decided it was time to se what others had to say about the organization of the fretboard. Of all the authors I have seen, this guy get it right; is approach is also uncluttered. The book is well organized and builds from the basics of where the tonics are (the first note of the scales), through major and minor scales and arpeggios and then into the more exotic scales and arpeggios. His approach of writing, memorizing and playing is sound. I recommend this for any level of player who is serious about learning the fretboard.Book Review: Delivers as promised
Summary: 5 Stars
Just received this book a week or so ago and I am pleased with it's content. Have been playing for over 20 years but let my theory knowledge rust and this book is already halping me get on track.
The author does a great job of logically sequencing the instruction to build upon a player's knowledge (no matter how minimal).
Keep in mind that this is a THEORY and KNOWLEDGE book, and not a how-to-play-like... you get the point - the application is up to you.
If you are theory / guitar-neck handicapped, definitely buy this book (and use it). Be patient - you'll get out of it what you put in.
