The learning
ethos within these chapters aim to promote good musicianship without
cutting any corners. The author has omitted the use of tablature
because "playing by numbers" reduces the need to associate
fret notes with letter/pitch names. This omission of fundamental
knowledge always hinders the player's ability to understand the
whole fingerboard and in turn, chords and arpeggios; The foundation
of music.
