With this totally logical approach, even people who feel they "don't have the knack" for playing guitar will find themselves playing and actually understanding in a surprisingly short time."

"Tomo Fujita combines the harmonic complexity of a jazz player with the groove of a funkmeister, all played with the soul of an old bluesman. With ""Instant Guitar"", he translates this knowledge into an easy-to-understand form and creates an instructional guide that will appeal to beginning guitarists. I highly recommend this book."
