Summary: Get plenty of "AHA!" moments
Comment: This book is, as the title suggests, a workbook. You study, complete excersizes, practice. It connects bits of theory and helps you understand how all the elements of the fretboard work together, from tuning to scales to complicated chords. This book teaches what I have been trying to learn for ages- how to "navigate" the fretboard. Because of this book, I can identify any note on the fretboard, or create scales up and down the neck without getting lost (which is the key to soloing). If you follow the instructions and use this book the way it's intended, you will actually understand music theory on the guitar in a very practical way. I cannot overstate the importance of the knowledge this book will help you gain. You will have plenty of "AHA!" moments when you work on some excersizes and then realize how vital the knowledge is that you just gained. This book is superb and will improve your playing and understanding, guaranteed!

Summary: Great
Comment: I took lessons for about 5 years, and I have been playing guitar for over 20 years, took a couple year break, and got back into it. I had learned the scales and did a lot of improvisation, but I was never able to easily find the note I was looking for without searching for it by ear. After reading the 1st chapter or 2 and doing the exercises I am easily able to find the notes anywhere on the fretboard, I wish I had read this book about 10 years ago.

Summary: Best book for me at this stage of my musical knowledge
Comment: I have made it through chapter 8 and I am learning more than I have during the past 20 years of playing. I wish that I had done this sooner but better late than never. This is a great book to go through before attempting to start the Music theory book by Tom Kolb, which I will start next.
