In that time Ive had seven guitar teachers. Some were expensive. A couple had good technique. All failed to make sense to me. I own a LOT of guitar books - spiral bound books packed with mysterious chord shapes; theory books from famous schools; method books; classical books - all gathering dust. Ive tried it all.Only once I found Desis book and his free podcasts did it all "click" so I could begin to play. Im not performing yet; but for the very first time; I understand the full "landscape" of the guitar; why Im learning scales; why a chord is what it is; how all the pieces fit together.Words cant describe how grateful I am for this book. I hope it brings you similar joy. (And if; like me; you prefer to "understand" what youre doing; Im sure it will.)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another Great Resource for Learning and Understanding Guitar Theory!By JAMES B. REEDI am a great fan of Desi Serna. I have Fretboard Theory Volume I; Fretboard Theory Volume II and all of the CDs. Now; I have purchased Guitar Theory For Dummies to complete my collection. Guitar Theory For Dummies has a similar scope to Fretboard Theory Volume I and Fretboard Theory Volume II. However; it is combined; updated; redone; reorganized and formatted in the popular For Dummies style. It includes many updates and added content (like all new audio and video instruction including professionally recorded guitar play-along backing tracks). Desi Serna really makes guitar Fretboard theory interesting and easy to understand. His books and CDs really teach you guitar theory and will help your understanding of the guitar and what you are playing. In addition; Desi can be contacted and will respond to your questions. I would highly recommend his books and CDs to others.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I use this book A LOT!!!By Ronald R ReesDesi Serna has authored a truly unusual and high quality self guided learning tool; and then managed to have it squeezed into a single book; with details and well thought out explanations of guitar theory then any single individual Ive run across; period. And; Ive been dedicating a lot of time and effort as a self-taught individual attempting to conquer this subject prior to paying for High Dollar Lessons and dozens of DVDs with tablature (TAB) via downloaded "pdf files" or more costly hard copy spiral bound books. You cannot beat the price and quality offered; period.This book includes a huge list of popular songs which allows a student a means of chasing down musical examples should they take the time required to use the internet search engines such as You Tube to find actual audio recordings. A valuable resource in itself. This list of songs are identified as part of the lessons through out the book as well as in the index. 295 pages long loaded with diagrams and each diagram supplemented with additional textural explanations...how can you go wrong. I use this book A LOT!!!
