  Most music teachers will take one look at the pages of this book and say that
  it is wrong. And you know what? They are absolutely right! This book is
  designed to teach you how to make music with the guitar, plain and simple. I
  have removed some of the traditional music elements that are unnecessary and
  commonly cause confusion. I leave out things like diminished chords, flats and
  intervals. (If those things sound strange, then this is the book for you!)
  What you get is a stripped down version of music theory that gives you more
  control over the music.
  
  This is not a replaceme
