Guitar Clinic contains techniques and exercises Mr. Arnold uses in the clinics and workshops he gives throughout the United States and is written as a response to the many questions students have asked him over the years. Essential information and instruction is given in clear, easy to understand language, addressing the needs of both beginning and advanced students. Much of the material in this book is culled from Mr. Arnold's educational series, over thirty books in all. The student wishing to expand on his or her studies will find suggestions within the text as to which of Mr. Arnold's books will best serve their specific needs.

Topics covered include: how to read music, sight reading, reading rhythms, music theory, chord and scale construction, modal sequencing, approach notes, reharmonization, bass and chord comping, and hexatonic scales.
