When one has mastered the basics in C, the transposition-moving from one key to another-is simple, truly extensive and expansive. This method is for everyone. By using this guide as a tool, one is able to gain the true basics, the foundations and rudiments found in music. This tool emphasizes the conceptual and theoretical aspects of what makes music work, the mechanics, mathematics, and how it all fits together. This is accomplished graphically. This book builds from the simple and progresses to the complex. This method fills in the blanks for those who want to understand and have not had the chance-or the tools and time to use-in the quest for being a better musician. This is a tool for expressing one's own music through improvisation, practice and jamming with others. This frames the subject matter in a cohesive and progressive presentation.

Autorenporträt

Ben Ryan is a creative spirit, with concentration and focus on music, art, writing and guitar music. He is a technology innovator and inventor with families of U.S. patents. He is a resourceful, multi-disciplined, full-time student of life. As a musician, he has played since he was seven, including piano, trumpet, voice and guitar. In the early 1970s he spent nearly a year in New Orleans, experiencing the food, the life and the music scene there. He worked at WYES-TV as a production specialist. He was involved as a producer with a special-feature program highlighting the "Jazz and Heritage Festival." Soon thereafter, he lived in the West Village of New York City. He joined the staff of the world-famous: Cafe Wha?. He made the most of that time with all New York had to offer, friends, food and familiar places such as the coffee houses, art lofts and music studios. Later on, he spent more than a decade as a pioneer in the burgeoning computer-generated graphics industry. From the very onset working with a General Electric Division, partnering with NASA on the simulated flight and animation program, exclusively for the Apollo Space Program, Mr. Ryan demonstrated and realized management and corporate leadership. His work has been viewed globally, corporately and governmentally, including a major presentation to the Senate sub-committee on new communications technologies. He was an instrumental leader in the transition of Northrop Aircraft from conventional artwork techniques to the computer-generated methodologies, protocols and processes. Soon after, he started his own successful production company-creating custom graphic solutions and computer generated presentations-long before PowerPoint-in downtown Los Angeles, California with numerous Fortune 500 Companies as clients. Most recently, he has been involved with the development of patented musical accessories. In addition, he spends his time on the development of new methods for understanding the "big picture" how music theory and the guitar fit together. His writing and Illustrations use visualizations and graphics to illustrate complex concepts simply.
