The Architect & The Alchemist is a 22 page guitar method eBook/booklet that attempts to balance the logical/intuitive, the ying/yang, the masculine/feminine. It is a book of ideas and reflections that requires active participation to integrate - that’s where you come in! Its intention is to create harmony - in music of course but also in our personal journey, relationships, our inner and outer worlds. It is a tale of Harmonic Fusion. It provides thoughts and information, you provide creativity and Harmonic Fusion is achieved!
Who this is for
While Part 2 - The Alchemist could be enjoyed by any creative person, Part 1 - The Architect is mostly targeted to intermediate to advanced guitarists, those that have a decent grasp of musical concepts and how they apply to the guitar. It is not targeted to any particular style of playing though the Chord Voicing Ideas section may sound most at home in Jazz.
