Synopsis "Stairway to Guitar Land: The Fretboard and Its Notes"
THE HOUSE OF CHORDS, THE FRETBOARDThis Book is the result of 500 years in the making. From SPINACINO the Luthist of Venice, in the years 1500, to an Anonymous American in the Years 1950's, to Yves ARGANT, in the years 2000 to 2014.ONLY Only THREE PEOPLE in FIVE CENTURIES, came up with systems helping the music lovers to perform music without music theory.Initially, the "TABS" were for popular music and troubadours who hadn't had access to music studies and more often played by ear, but had no tool to write down their musicThe music theory, invented in the years 1000, by the monks, was mainly for religious music.The music lovers of today are different. Everything changes and so does the mind. The music lovers of today are more and more interested in understanding what they do with their instrument. They want to add colour to their music.Today, more and more music lovers are eager to put down their own inspiration. Just like a poet writing a poem, they want to have the tools to write their compositions.To write a poem, you need to "master" the language.To write music, you need to master the language of your instrument. The Notes in music are the VERBS in language.Yves ARGANT constructed a tool to read the fretboard.Music Theory gives the "names," the notes, the verbsTabs. give numbersUp to now, there was no linkbetween the two.Yves ARGANT built a bridge filling the gap between music theory and tab. numbers.Each note has been given its own identity card.This identity card contains the string, the fret, the name.Three elements in one package. The complete address of each note. THE A.G.T.S. System by Yves ARGANT is changing the approach to the guitar. It's a new tool for teachers. But it is also a new tool for independant learners.Yves ARGANT not only invented a NEW SYSTEM, he also laid it down in a comprehensive book containing exercices, charts, schemes to start from scratch and climb up the ladder of the neck to the top.With his book and method, Yves ARGANT has opened up a new road clearing all obstacles to make it a pleasant and enjoyable journey, during which the gratifying feeling of possibilities will be the trigger to complete success and pleasure.The organization of music was initiated by PYTHAGORE, a long long time ago. Music is FREQUENCIES. PYTHAGORE organised the music according the "frequencies." Each fret on the guitar is in fact a "frequency." The sounds are frequencies.The frequencies between the different sounds are not the same, that's why the distance between the frets are not the same.The C MAJOR SCALE was invented by PYTHAGORE, too.The TABS. were originally invented by SPINACINO (he used alphabet letters, that helped the musician to find where to pinch the string of their instrument)With the guitar and the frets, the anonymous American, replaced the alphabet letters by "numbers" related to the frets.Yves ARGANT joined the names of the notes, the number of the fret, the number of the string. Now, the identification is complete.No doubt that it will change the approach to the guitar in the coming years.This exclusive SYSTEM and BOOK will pave the road to a new teaching and learning the guitar and the music...We foresee a beautifull trip for teachers and learners.
