Fred Grace

Dr. Grace grew up in the country, far from a small town in Pennsylvania. He sold seeds to get his first guitar at age of eleven. With no guitar teacher within miles, he taught himself to play simple songs through a little chord book that came with the guitar. He went from the farm to studying Physics getting a BA, Masters, and PhD degrees. Aside from Physics, he has always had an interest in prose, poetry, and music. This book is an example of his accomplishment in music as he lays out, in simplified terms, elements of music theory. This book not only applies to guitar, but piano, coral groups and orchestral, as well. His discipline of physics shows up in his approach where everything in this music book starts with definition of terms and is laid out in stepwise fashion.
