Vertical Truth - Chordal Mechanisms for the Guitar
Vertical Truth
is a series of method books that apply the principles of music theory to the guitar. It does not
deal with music theory in the abstract but is guitar-specific.
However, the principles learned are universal and can be applied to
any instrument.
Vertical Truth is not
designed as a "self-teaching" method but requires a knowledgeable
teacher.
Ask yourself these questions;
Have you ever sat in a music theory class wondering what the rules of
the four-part Bach chorale style have to do with the guitar?
Have you ever heard some jazz guitarist play and wondered how anybody
could know so many chords? - Or what bizarre scale is he using that sounds so cool?
Is
 Greek to you?
Can you play a Lydian Mode? Do you know why it's a Lydian
Mode?

By the way, there are thousands of guitar teachers out
there that cannot answer these questions. If you're one of those, go ahead
and press the "student" button - I won't tell!
