Music – Courseware

Back to Music

Introduction and Disclaimer

In this section, i,e., this page and its derived pages, I present some courseware for personal use and easy access (for me).

Disclaimer: I’m not a music teacher, nor amazingly musically talented. Nor is playing or teaching music (theory) my profession. So beware of that! The stuff presented here is merely for my personal use, but you may find some parts useful. But using this material is at your own risk, nonetheless.

Resources

• Books [local] [library]
  • This section lists some books I purchased over the years for guitar (and other instruments). It is not complete; I actually used in the past two other books that I know of, one with a CD, and a third “evergreen” chord book. They got lost in my “only keep what you used in the past three years”-paradigm. The PDF files of the books below are only available [if at all] from my www.jdj [local] website.
