How can you learn your guitar's fretboard without thinking so that you can play melodies, chords, and solos to always fit the style musically? Robert "Landy" Landinger, author of this book, was looking for a corresponding method since he first started playing the guitar. He focused on guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix and Django Reinhardt and discovered the CAGED system which relies exclusively on the basic chords. With this volume, there is finally a book for everyone to learn this ingenious system quickly and effortlessly and master the classic chords on the guitar. Whether you're a singer-songwriter or a folk, metal, jazz or blues guitarist, this book will give you the tools you need to become a CAGED specialist.

The 1875 translation of Helmholtz's classic 1863 publication, which influenced composers and musicologists well into the twentieth century.

One of the most important ethnomusicologists of the century, John Blacking achieved international recognition for his book, How Musical Is Man? Known for his interest in the relationship of music to biology, psychology, dance, and politics, Blacking was deeply committed to the idea that music-making is a fundamental and universal attribute of the human species. He attempted to document the ways in which music-making expresses the human condition, how it transcends social divisions, and how it can be used to improve the quality of human life. This volume brings together in one convenient source eight of Blacking's most important theoretical papers along with an extensive introduction by the editor. Drawing heavily on his fieldwork among the Venda people of South Africa, these essays reveal his most important theoretical themes such as the innateness of musical ability, the properties of music as a symbolic or quasi-linguistic system, the complex relation between music and social institutions, and the relation between scientific musical analysis and cultural understanding.
