What matters in use
The specifications, translated

Explains how material is constructed on the fretboard rather than handing you songs to copy.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from the chords and voicings book?
That one is the chords volume and costs less. This is a separate title in the same series, so check the exact cover before ordering.
02Do I need to read music?
Grimoire books lean on diagrams and charts rather than standard notation, so fretboard diagram literacy matters more than sight reading.
03Is this useful for bass?
The material is laid out for six-string guitar. The theory carries over, but the fingering charts do not map directly to bass.
04Will this teach me songs?
No. It covers the theory and fretboard material behind playing. Pair it with a songbook if you want repertoire.
