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. 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

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,

works and how it applies to the guitar. I hope my slightly

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
