If youre a beginner, youll discover what you need to know to start playing immediately, without drowning in complicated music theory.

    Authors Acknowledgments

    This book was a journey, and many people helped guide this weary traveler toward his destination by offering direction, hospitality, and generosity. Id like to take a moment to thank just a few of them.

    Special thanks to my project editor, Linda Brandon, who kept me going with wise counsel, expert advice, and good cheer, and who showed conspicuous bravery and uncommon valor in the face of the most dire of deadlines. You go, girl!

    Then theres a big thank you to the brain trust, my cadre of trusted advisers whose sage wisdom and patient forbearance helped me untangle my thoughts and get them onto the page: Corey Dalton, Jeff Jacobson, Rich Maloof, Emile Menasch, and Pete Prown.

    As well, Id like to thank the artistic crew: Woytek and Krystyna Rynczak, of WR Music Service, for their beautiful and elegant music typesetting; Miriam Lorentzen for her expert photographic work and direction; and Matt Brewster and Ned Brewster of 30th Street Guitars, NYC, for providing all the cool gear in the photos.

    Id also like to extend a grateful thank you to the believers: Kathy Nebenhaus and Tracy Boggier of Wiley, who backed this effort and didnt flinch once (at least that I could see!) as the scope grew and grew.

    And, finally, thanks to these folks, all of whose direct influence (whether they know it or not) is tucked somewhere inside the pages of this book: Craig Anderton, Nick Bowcott (Korg USA), Leslie Buttonow (Korg USA), Tara Callahan (Roland Corp. US), Addison Chappell and David Chappell (my guitar playing brothers), Jen Chappell, Katie Chappell, Lauren Chappell, Ryan Chappell, Robbie Clyne (Neilson/Clyne), Phil Sanchez (TASCAM), JC Costa, Rusty Cutchin, Steve De Furia (Line 6), Doyle Dykes, Andy Ellis, Paul Gallo, Chris Gentri, Tim Godwin (Line 6), Rory Gordon, Mike McGee, Michael Molenda, Mike Myers, Gil Parris, Mark Phillips, Marty Porter, Marsha Vdovin (Steinberg), Allen Wald, Kellie Wilkie (Roland Corp. US), Tom Wilson, Alex Wright.

    For the recording of the CD, special thanks to these manufacturers, who lent expertise and technology: Line 6, whose POD Pro supplied all the killer guitar sounds, effects, and a lot of the inspiration; Roland Corp. U.S., whose JS-5 JamStation served up the impeccably played backing tracks; and Steinberg, for Cubase VST/32, and TASCAM, for the US-428 control surface, who together helped create a seamless and stellar digital recording.

    Dedication

    To Mary

    My north, my south, my east, my west;

    My working week, my Sunday best.
