Summary: Finally someone made sense of the guitar tuning/fretboard
Review: I only regret I didn't run across this book a decade or two ago.I bought multiple scale books and they all boil down to the usual "dots-on-the-fretboard" kind of thing, with the more adventurous throwing in some greek names for erudition. None ever said why or how they fit together!!! Finally Bill Edwards unlocked the mistery with his books. I have only read Volume I so far, but I know I will re-read both volumes over and over. I can finally traverse the whole fingerboard without going out of scale, which is what I wanted to do all along and nobody could tell me. With Edwards' method I can visualize and understand what I am doing, and project where I want to go. Nobody ever did that for me. Long live Bill Ewards!

Summary: This is the Best Guitar Instruction Book Published...EVER!!!
Review: I wish I had found this book when I started playing the guitar 20 years ago. I would be a much better guitar player today. Why?...Because I would have known why the guitar fretboard is designed the way it is much earlier. This book cuts out all of the fluff and gets right to the point. You will not find a better guitar instruction book anywhere. I would also recommend the Fretboard Logic III for the rest of the story...

Summary: The Simple Truth
Review: I'll make this short, sweet and to the point. B.B. King said that the blues is about telling the truth. I am a player (40 years and counting), a teacher (20 years and counting), and a performer (30 years and counting) and opening this book was one of the smartest things I ever did. Bill breaks things down to their simplest component form...the truth. I am now going to incorporate the CAGED method in my teaching, playing and performing. It takes everything I know and makes it new again and I'm having a blast! And that's the simple truth.

Summary: The FIRST book an aspiring guitarist should read and master!
Review: I've been floored at how well Bill Edwards explains the fretboard. Don't bother with books that list every chord and scale known to mankind -- it's far better to have a framework (such as this book presents) that lets you figure out the chord or scale you need on the fly.

Summary: Having trouble? Here's your answer...
Review: I've been playing for 15 years. Thats a long time to not really know anything about my instrument. Well, the Major and natural minor scales, pentatonics, and a few positional arpeggios, but its sad how little I know about the Fretboard.
Enter this book. It takes the guitar, sectiosn it off in bite-sized chunks and then reassembles the whole thing into a tastier morsel. It views things in terms of 5 movable chords. There are scales and arpeggios associated with these scales. Learn them. Then it tells shows you how they are connected.
This is not a lesson book. It just gives you some patterns and suggeswted fingerings for the major scale, its modes, harmonic minor, melodic minor, chords and arpeggios. Its good if you feel like you were weak in this department and it opened up doors for me again.
I'm very glad I got it.

Summary: Limited practical usefullness
Review: I've been playing guitar for 7 years now and I've bought this book some years ago, thinking it would make me master my guitar, based on other reviews I've seen. Well... it has not. It teaches you a myriad of fingering patterns to play chords, scales, arpegios and scale runs, without needing to know the single notes on you fretboard. And that's also the problem: there are too much patterns! I remember that I worked my way to the 3/4th of the book, then... well I lost interest. Now I've almost forgotten them all...[...] And in fact learning the notes on the fretboard and learning the notes in the most common scales (and chords) is less overhead and more usefull than learning all these patterns. So, you understood it, today I very rarely refer to this book anymore

Summary: BILL EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT!!
Review: I've played the guitar (all styles from classical to heavy metal) for 16 years and I've never come across a more practical and concise learning tool than Fretboard Logic SE. To some of the naysayers who've disparaged Mr. Edwards' use of his own semantics for decoding the recognizable patterns of the fretboard, I can only wonder if they can read English or if so whether they were reading the same book. I've taken several years of personal lessons as well as university courses(for which I received good grades) that I did not gain as much insight as I did in the time I spent reading and practicing with the Fretboard Logic books. It's true that these books are intended for serious musicians only, but since when has truly learning an instrument NOT required serious effort? In my years of experience, these books are a serious bargain!

Summary: buy this
Review: If there's only one guitar book you are ever going to buy, then get this one! It's like a clearly drawn map to get to the Holy Grail. He doesn't just explain what the chords, scales and frets are; he shows you the patterns, the whys and the know-how to put everything together. Just get it and play!

Summary: Not that interesting
Review: If you are learning the guitar, there is no silver bullet. Do yourself a favor, avoid this book and buy a copy of Leavitt's Modern Method for Guitar 1-3 and all three volumes of Praxis and study them for a few years. I've bought and read a lot of different guitar books, and this is one of the few that I've felt totally ripped off on.
This book doesn't really contain all that is new or not found in much better books that are out there. Probably the only interesting thing in the book is the discussion on the placement of the major third interval among the strings reducing the number of non-chord tones, which is on a single page.
The only other thing that it tries to contribute is information on how various chordal shapes interrelate to each other, but if you learn all of the triads and seventh chords in all inversions on all sets of strings and how to arpeggiate them into each other (which any good guitarist must do sooner or later), you'll implicitly get this information.
