 I'm
also the author of the internet best seller PlaneTalk
- The truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. If
you are beyond the beginner's stage, and you're now wondering how
it is that some players seem to have the whole fretboard at their disposal
at all times, then it's time you readPlaneTalk. After 47 years of
playing, you can imagine how familiar I have become with the structure
of music and the layout of the fretboard. There is a simple trick to
keeping track of it all, whether chords, melody or harmony.
The package consists of the book (which explains the simple mindset), the DVD (which demonstrates it), the Guitar slide Rule (which graphically crytallizes the mindset), the 'Chord Tone Blues" CD (a stand alone lesson showing how to apply the mindset to the blues) and unlimited access to the PlaneTalkers' Forum where you'll find me and many others on a daily basis.

Thanks for dropping in. I'm Kirk Lorange
and I've been playing guitar for way too long now — 47
years, 38 of them professionally! You can find out all about
me at
my personal site,
if you're interested.
Enjoy the free info and online guitar lessons posted here. Music
and learning an instrument are complicated enough without all the
gobbledygook and my approach to teaching music has
always been to use plain English. This is mainly because
I am a self taught player myself and I have been able,
over the decades, to form my own view of how music
works and how it applies to the guitar. I hope my slightly
unorthodox approach helps you to
better
understand the workings of Music and to more fully enjoy
the Wonderful World of Twanging.
If you are new to music and the guitar,
I suggest you read through the pages in order, as per
the navigation tabs above. Music is a blend of many
elements and I have attempted to attack them one by
one, in logical sequence. A clear mental picture of
the structure of music is what is needed to really
begin to enjoy playing guitar. If you're beyond rank
beginner, get stuck into some of the free online guitar
lessons.
So, if you've been wondering about major
chords, minor chords, 7th, augmented and diminished
chords, harmony, melody, strumming, finger picking,
plectrums, double stops, fretboards, head stocks,
tuning pegs and tail pieces, soundholes, f-holes,
scales, modes, slide guitar and shredding ... read
