    About this ebook

    This book describes a simple method for writing guitar music. The main objective of this method is to help learners and those new to the guitar learn songs quickly. It should also prove useful for more accomplished musicians as well. It is not a replacement for traditional methods or more specifically a replacement for TAB music. It is best used in conjunction with TAB music whereby it serves to make the music more readable for beginners and easier for experienced guitarists to jot down musical phrases whilst working on a song.
    The Clock Face method for memorizing the notes on the fretboard is a handy easy way to make sense of the notes as they are laid out on the guitar fretboard.

    Fred Harris

    Having spent many years working as an accountant in the beautiful city of Oxford, England surrounded by keen business men and women all anxious to drive me onto the scrap heap I find myself deprived of humor of any kind. Dreamy spires very quickly become dreary spires when you are surrounded by humorless drones all desperately seeking to out do the drone next to them. Years of this have driven me to seek refuge in writing very silly books.
