Preface: What Is Praxis?

Praxis: The Guide To Twentieth-Century Guitar:

• EfficientPractice And Results Now

• Chart Your Own Course

• A Comprehensive View Of Guitar

Praxis is the firstinstructional book ofits kind. Ittakes a strikingly new and refreshing approach to learning guitar, and it is carefully designed to guarantee efficient practice with rewarding results. The Praxis program makes available to all guitarists a comprehensive and unified body of instructional material, and within Praxis, students and teachers are given the freedom to chart their own courses according to their own musical interests and needs.

Who Needs Praxis?

• The Music Is Already Inside You

• Musical Tools For All Styles

• Make The Music You Want To Make

Whether your playing falls under one of the more traditional conventional styles, or whether you're a composer and arranger or exploring new musical zones and establishing your own musical direction or personal fusion of musical ideas and influences, Praxis has what you need. Unlike traditional guitar books, Praxis realizes that music is already inside you and that itonly needs an avenue to get out. Through the development ofmusical skills,Praxis provides such avenues.

The Musician Within:

• Theory Can Paralyze

• Learn Through The Instrument, Not On It

• Get The Sound Out Now

• Use Fingerboard Visualization

• Hear It In Your Head, Then Play It

Too often in learning to perform music, an initial overabundance of theoretical information precedes the mastery of specific skills. As a result, learning toplay appears tobe overwhelmingly complex: theory paralyzes practice. In these volumes this order is reversed. The material is presented, not first in the abstract and only later placed on the Instrument, but rather through the instrument. Thus, the name of the collection ("Praxis" comes from the Greek word meaning "practice" and "to do") accurately reflects its general orientation. Play it first,getting sound and satisfaction out of the guitar immediately, and musical understanding will naturally follow. Praxis lets you choose the precise subject you want and immediately provides relevant musical examples. And these examples are presented in such a way that the principle behind the example is always clear, thus allowing you to apply it directly to your music. Also, although musical fashions come and go, style endures. Praxis provides the player with all the building blocks ofa style which is individual, masterful and lasting.

One Step Beyond:

• Originators Vs. Imitators

• Musicianship Skills

• Encourages Musical Innovation

Traditional guitar books try to teach you to play someone else's music. That approach tends to produce imitators rather than originators, and real musicianship skills are picked up slowly and almost by accident. Praxis takes you directly to being able to play anything that you want ...someone else's music, your own music, and everything in between. Praxis takes you one step beyond.

Over a large number of years we have enjoyed the great benefit of advice, encouragement, and assistance from a large number of people. These include the many guitarists who have studied with us at one time or another at guitar seminars throughout the United States, England, and western Europe, at the Musicians' Institute in Los Angeles, at the School of Music of the University of Oregon, at Lane Community College, and at numerous :-..mher colleges and universities. We have also had the benefit of many conversations, both verbally and musically, on many topics covered in these volumes with guitar teachers of many styles, and we hope one expression of thanks will extend to all. Professional musicians, music educators, educational psychologists, musicologists, philosophers, and many others have been generous with their thought on the topics covered in these volumes; we have found such people throughout North America and Europe, and we are fortunate to have had their help. Some whose support has been particularly valuable over the long course of this project are Horstmann, Jay Roberts, Ed Wight, and Catherine Wilson. We owe a very distinctive debt of gratitude to Evelyn Palmer, who has given us detailed suggestions on earlier versions yielding many improvements, and, more recently, a fully comprehending and close reading of the proofs that saved us from the inaccuracies that managed to survive her earlier scrutiny. Sympathetic understanding and constructive criticism are great luxuries for a work in progress, and we are grateful to all these friends for having afforded them. Lastly, for well over a decade we have worked on manuscripts at many places and at all hours, and Patty Roberts has been unfailingly cheerful in the production of typescripts at many stages of development and unfailingly willing to enter the seemingly endless revisions and additions, which, to her understandable disbelief, have finally come to an end. Authors cannot really repay such support, but as a gesture of thanks for those indispensable long-term labors this book is dedicated - from both of us - to her.
