Sure I'd like to see my whole fretboard
as friendly, familiar territory! What's the trick?
 PlaneTalk
- The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book,
which comes with The Guitar Slide Rule, has been
selling from this site since 1997, going out to all corners of
the English speaking World, teaching well over ten thousand guitarists
the simple visualization technique that is the 'trick' to turning
your entire fretboard into familiar territory. It now comes with the companion DVD.
This is not for beginners, but if
you're one of those who has the basics down—you
know your chords and scales—but you can't seem
to bring them all together on the fretboard and turn them into MUSIC,
then read on. Endorsed by the great Tommy
Emmanuel, this book easily
lives up to its subtitle: The Truly Totally
Different Guitar Instruction Book. |
The lesson is delivered as a comic strip
conversation that takes place on a plane between a seasoned guitarist
and a guy who gave up trying to figure it all out. The reader gets
to listen in as the pro lets him in on a secret, a shorthand way
of tracking all music on the guitar. The hour long DVD demonstrates the technique.
Join the thousands who already know the 'trick'!
I can confidently state that, if you're still wondering what the trick is to using the whole fretboard, this will be the most valuable music/guitar lesson you will ever learn. Once you purchase, you can join the PlaneTalkers' Forum where you can ask any questions about the technique. I'm there every day and so are many other PlaneTalkers.

I have finally finished my "How to play Slide Guitar in Standard / Dropped-D tunings DVD. Click on the titles of the songs in the player to the left to hear some examples. Some of the tunes are from my album No Apostrophe, some are home recordings of originals tunes, others are improvised solos to mp3 backing tracks that float around the Internet. All improvisations, of course, use the PlaneTalk mindset since I'm not in open tunings.
