I'm also the author of the internet best seller PlaneTalk - The truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. If you are beyond the beginner's stage, and you're now wondering how it is that some players seem to have the whole fretboard at their disposal at all times, then it's time you read PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction BookPlaneTalk. After 44 years of playing, you can imagine how familiar I have become with the structure of music and the layout of the fretboard. There is a simple trick to keeping track of it all, whether chords, melody or harmony, and the extremely user-friendly comic-strip format plus the Guitar Slide Rule makes it impossible NOT to learn it

Thanks for dropping in. I'm Kirk Lorange and I've been playing guitar for way too long now — 45 years, 36 of them professionally! You can find out all about me at my personal site, if you're interested.

Enjoy the free info and online guitar lessons posted here. Music and learning an instrument are complicated enough without all the gobbledygook and my approach to teaching music has always been to use plain English. This is mainly because I am a self taught player myself and I have been able, over the decades, to form my own view of how music works and how it applies to the guitar. I hope my slightly unorthodox approach helps you to better understand the workings of Music and to more fully enjoy the Wonderful World of Twanging.

If you are new to music and the guitar, I suggest you read through the pages in order, as per the navigation tabs above. Music is a blend of many elements and I have attempted to attack them one by one, in logical sequence. A clear mental picture of the structure of music is what is needed to really begin to enjoy playing guitar. If you're beyond rank beginner, get stuck into some of the free online guitar lessons, all consisting of a movie, tab, midi files and explicit plain English commentary.

So, if you've been wondering about major chords, minor chords, 7th, augmented and diminished chords, harmony, melody, strumming, finger picking, plectrums, double stops, fretboards, head stocks, tuning pegs and tail pieces, soundholes, f-holes, scales, modes, slide guitar and shredding ... read on.
