I have compiled what I have musically learned from playing guitar over fifty years, releasing 6 CD’s, and teaching over forty years into Fifty Steps to Guitar Greatness. There are fifty chapters each addressing an individual topic. You can purchase the entire collection or the chapters you want. The guitar as the instrument used but the lessons on music theory, Keys, Modes, Chords, etc will apply to other instruments you pick up. And Fifty Steps isn’t limited to Western music but has scales from all over the world which can be combined to create new art. From beginner to advanced an extensive and insightful exploration of playing guitar and music theory. Be Great.
