Editorial Reviews

Review

Brilliant. --John Holly

Excellent books! You've changed my approach to playing and improvising after being stuck in a rut for 20 years! So simple yet brilliant. A real breakthrough! --Manny Sanjiau

I just finished Fretboard Logic Volume I. As an engineer, I can say that I finally have closure on my desire to have some understanding on the layout of the fretboard. Everything in the book was very clear, logical and understandable. --Dave Moorehouse

i have just started working with this book and dvd. so far i'm smitten. the only thing i'd like is if they blues, rock, and country riffs were written out for me to see. it's hard for me to put them all together by ear and from the DVD. i'm constantly rewinding. still, the way this guy has broken down the logical patternings inherent in the guitar make the whole process of figuring out what the hell's going on a lot easier! i've recommende this book to my guitar teacher so he can speed up my learning curve, but the great thing is that i could also get by without him just by studying the books. great stuff and fantastic musicianship!

This review is from: Fretboard Logic Box Set (3 Volumes and 2 Videos Combined in Two Books and One DVD Disc) (Paperback)

I quit taking guitar lessons long ago because I was frustrated with the lack of system, despite my teacher being an excellent blues and rock player and a good man. He did his best to provide some systematic learning by combining rudimentary music theory with very dry, iterative practice passages. After I quit lessons, I then started playing by ear and began learning in that way, by mimic, with some minimal theoretical looks at the pieces that interested me most. I had viewed various teaching materials, never finding anything that could bring it all together and truly unlock the instrument for me. I was tooling through Amazon.com one day, and stumbled across these humble-looking books, finding virtually every bit of feedback complimentary. I was extremely skeptical, being a trained skeptic, but having purchased the boxed set with DVD and worked through all of the first book, plowing through the second and third volumes, I have new-found analytical and improvisational skills and ambitions with the guitar. I have some friends that have asked about learning to play, and the first thing out of my mouth is always "Bill Edwards, Fretboard Logic, Vol. I-III, and DVD." If only I was working this system from the beginning, there's no telling where I would be now. Thank goodness I found these books when I did. I simply won't let anyone else learn guitar without referring them to the Fretboard Logic Series. Thank you, and thank you again to Mr. Edwards. Not only has he created a great product that sells at a very reasonable price that reflects considerable time, understanding, and fine-tuning, but he has done a service to the instrument. Congratulations, and thanks once more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only volume 1 deserves 5 stars, August 26, 2006

This review is from: Fretboard Logic Box Set (3 Volumes and 2 Videos Combined in Two Books and One DVD Disc) (Paperback)

I have this combo pack SE(=vol1+2) + vol3 and DVD. Volume 1 is want gets this book 5 stars. vol2 and vol3 don't give you this "aha erlebnis" that vol 1 is giving. Vol 2 and 3 are just good books (3 stars) on music and guitar. The DVD does not add much to the book, it is good to have a look at the DVD so you know in 1 hour what the book will try to teach you.

In vol1 you get a realy good (super) explanation of the fretboard and this book will teach you how the learn the secrets of fretboard and not ask you to memorize 100 scales and chords. This is indeed a must read for anyone starting on guitar.
