Guitar EncycloMedia Breaks New Ground
By Marc Newman
It seems that every week or two another book about vintage Gibsons or Fender amps hits the market. And, despite the good intentions of the authors', rarely do these books ever really break new ground. Mike Overly's "Guitar EncycloMedia" is a significant exception to that rule however; affording a uniquely comprehensive, yet very different approach towards enhancing the skills of us guitar players. We took a little time a little while back and asked Mike to explain his concept to us.
Marc Newman: Tell our readers what the basic idea is behind "Guitar EncycloMedia"?
Mike Overly: Simply stated, the Guitar EncycloMedia teaches you to see the whole fretboard so that you can easily play its many chord, scale and arpeggio fragments. Guitar EncycloMedia not only contains all the chords, scales and arpeggios necessary to play any song, but it also thoroughly explains how to apply them, enabling every guitarist to play something uniquely different - every time, with every song. Now I know that playing other peoples music can be fun, but it can be just as fun - as well as rewarding and exciting - to create your own songs! However, being original is sometimes hard. So I wrote Guitar EncycloMedia to make the "hard" easy, less of a challenge and a lot more enjoyable to the guitarist of any level by presenting a simple way to find a "virtually endless" number of related musical ideas that can be applied to any given chord or chord progression.
MN: The book's premise sounds terrific but is this something you read from cover to cover and then you have it all down or is this something that a more experienced player can use as well?
MO: Guitar EncycloMedia is structured sequentially (like a method) so you may begin on page one and proceed page by page through the entire book, or you may open it at random (like a reference) and use it with all your other guitar books and magazines. And because of this "duel nature" both the beginning guitarist and those who are highly advanced may benefit from its use.
MN: Give us an idea of exactly how the book would be of use to the average guitarist.
MO: Guitar EncycloMedia (with the help of Fretboard Flashcards) teaches you a simple system of learning and remembering vast amounts of musical information by simply seeing your guitar fretboard as an "alphabet" of 12 pitches from which you "spell" a vocabulary of chords, scales and arpeggios. This simple system helps you "put together" all the seemingly unrelated musical ideas that are found in countless guitar books and magazines. And it does so without the use of TAB or Staff Notation! In addition, Guitar EncycloMedia presents an "almost infinite" number of ways to make any song sound uniquely your own. And with 42 songs included in Guitar EncycloMedia you are provided with the opportunity to immediately apply your newly acquired knowledge and understanding in a practical way.
MN: I remember hearing years ago about this radical "Suzuki Method" that taught young children how to play the violin by teaching them how to play songs rather than burdening first with learning how to read music. It almost sounds as if you have conceived a kind of "Suzuki Method" for guitar players so that once the guitarist starts to put together the "puzzle pieces" they are getting to see the rewards right away.
MO: It's important to remember that before the fingers can move, there must be "thought in the brain". Guitar EncycloMedia provides you with many applicable thoughts that will help you know what you're playing, understand how to apply what you know and to become a more successful guitarist. A greater knowledge about music and the guitar can only make you better!
MN: Given the success of "Guitar EncycloMedia", do you have any sort of follow-up in mind?
MO: "Fretboard Flashcards" for Guitar and for 4 and 5 String Bass have been published by 12 Tone Music Publishing and are now available. I have begun working on the "Guitar EncycloMedia Workbook" which will provide an in-depth study of the ideas introduced in Guitar EncycloMedia. I'm also wrapping up the "play along tracks" for the 42 songs included in Guitar EncycloMedia - a CD and cassette will be available in the near future and the "Guitar EncycloMedia Instructional Video" is nearly completed and should be available Winter 2000.
MN: What else do you do in addition to writing?
MO: I'm the Director of Music Education and a full time teacher at a large music store in Dayton, Ohio. This provides me the opportunity to continue developing my thoughts about music and its application to the guitar. I promote Guitar EncycloMedia at numerous vintage guitar shows across the country where I get to personally meet and talk with many guitarists of all styles and levels and I also have a local cable TV show "'The Guitar Forum" which airs at various times throughout the week.
MN: Thanks Mike.
MO: You're welcome Marc, thank you.

Guitar Encyclomedia and Fretboard Flashcards by Chris Bereznay
Mike Overly has been teaching, performing and positively impacting the lives of guitarists for decades. If you visit the 12 Tone Music site ... and read his bio, it's enough to make you wonder if there's any hope for you if you didn't start in music at the wee toddler ages. It's this type of experience and background, though, that have gone into some of the finest instructional materials for the guitar that I've ever seen. What I'm talking about folks is the Guitar Encyclomedia and Fretboard Flashcards from Mike Overly and 12 Tone Music Publishing.
If you're like me, and probably a lot of other guitarists out there, you started playing and "kind-of" taught yourself by reading magazines, playing with others, listening to recordings, etc. You might have learned power chords first; maybe even learned alternate picking so that you could play those fast solos just like Eddie Van Halen. After a few months or even years, though, your skills began to flat-line. You ended up playing the same things over and over again because this is what you were comfortable with. If you're not like me, you're lucky. I've been playing for close to 20 years now and I probably 'flat-lined' years ago. Lately, though, I've taken a renewed interested in developing my skills and decided to start looking around for good sources on theory and fretboard skills.
While cruising the web a few weeks ago, I ran into an ad for the Guitar Encyclomedia by Mike Overly. To me, "encyclomedia" was denoting a complete guitar reference and that was exactly what I was looking for. Something I could refer to as I began to "teach myself" again the subtle and not so subtle nuances of guitar and theory. What I found when the packaged arrived, however, was not just a simple all-encompassing reference. What I found was a detailed and thorough series of adventures around the fretboard. Structured in lesson format, I began to embark on a new educational journey that would ultimately lead to many string changes for my brand new Strat.
You see I've always been the guy that took more pride in my creative abilities and the songs, chord progressions, riffs and licks that I would come up with, than with how many Led Zeppelin riffs I could memorize. The nice thing about the Guitar Encyclomedia, though, is that it can benefit both types of guitarists. Those that tend to be songwriters, though, ultimately stand to benefit far greater from this excellent reference. Those of you who fall into this category know who you are. How many times have you been working on a really cool chord progression and just can't seem to find the next chord to make the whole piece tie together? Frustrating, isn't it? After using these tools, my friends, you will never ask the question "What do I play the second time through this song?"
Mike Overly lays the foundation around what some refer to as the CAGED system. This is where the fundamental principles of guitar are taught around the 5 major chord forms that are movable all over the neck of the guitar. Mike often quips that all you ever needed to know is what you "learned at your first lesson"!
Probably one of the coolest features of the Guitar Encyclomedia is that it presents its material in four parts; CHORD - SCALE - ARPEGGIO - SONG. According to Mike Overly, "Theoretically, scales come first and from the letters and tones of the scale, chords and arpeggios are spelled (constructed). However, I've chosen to introduce chords first because we tend to hear the harmony (chords) of a song and then play a melody (scale) that fits the chords." I can attest that this approach works and is more effective than burying you in some theory that you can't relate anything to. The chord structures and forms that come first give you something to relate to and help to build your understanding of scales and arpeggios on top of them - leading finally to song structure.
One of my favorite activities while reviewing these products over the past several weeks has been to sit down and go through various sections of the Guitar Encyclomedia and write new songs based on some of the variations present. At the end of each major section in the book you'll find a song that highlights the information presented in the pages preceding it. This is extremely useful as it gives you an immediate opportunity to practice the skills you've learned. What I will do is make a quick recording, usually with an acoustic guitar, laying down rhythm tracks with the chords in the song. Then, once this recording is made, I'll go over the scales and arpeggios to enhance the impact that the material has just made. This has helped retention greatly.
In addition to the Guitar Encyclomedia, Music Gear Review also received the Fretboard Flashcards that Mike Overly and 12 Tone Music offer. We received the guitar, 4 string and 5 string bass guitar versions and in addition to the material covered in the Guitar Encyclomedia, have been heavily utilizing these as well. The Flashcards are organized in a color-coded scheme and where on one side there is a string number and a letter. On the back of the card, the trainee has to correctly identify the fret that the letter on the front represents. In addition, the student can see a picture of the fretboard with the location of the letter clearly located for visualization purposes. For those of you studying how to read standard notation, don't fret ( no pun intended ), there's also staff notation! It's like a complete Fretboard map in a stack that's almost the same size as a deck of cards - which makes them portable too! My poor wife has been promoted to "teacher" and I've been bugging her a few times a week to test me on the flashcards. What I need to mention here though is that alone, they do a great job of familiarizing you with the fretboard. Combined with another approach, however, they're twice as effective. For the past week I've also been testing the "Absolute Fretboard" software and the two combined together have really been helping me make some progress. I would recommend that with anything though. Although the Guitar Encyclomedia and Fretboard Flashcards are some of the finest instructional items we've seen here at Music Gear Review, we highly recommend supplementing as well as "mixing and matching" methods. One of the hardest things about any musical theory is maintaining your interest. If your only approach is the Guitar Encyclomedia book, you're going to burn out on it. Sure, the Flashcards add some shelf life to the equation, but definitely utilize as many different avenues as you can without confusing yourself.
Bottom Line:
The simple truth is that the Guitar Encyclomedia and Fretboard Flashcards provide the learning guitarist with more than enough tools for the money. What is contained in these packages would take years upon years and hundreds if not thousands of dollars of guitar lessons to obtain. Depending on the teacher that you routinely visit, you may not even get some of this information. I would highly recommend these tools to anyone that's looking to improve their skills on the guitar. I would even recommend this to some guitar instructors so that they are careful not to miss any important topics when planning their lessons for their students. Mike Overly and 12 Tone Music Publishing have done a wonderful job at presenting the information. I also understand that in addition to the workbook mentioned above, there's also a CD and tape in the works that will eventually accompany the manual. The only suggestion or request I would make to Mike Overly is to add some more color and possibly some "hand on the fretboard" images to the book on one of the future revisions.
In conclusion, I could have gone over every little detail of what is in the Guitar Encyclomedia. I didn't for a reason. I really think you need to browse your way over to the 12 Tone Music site and check out the information for yourself. There's over a dozen sample lessons from the book out on the website so you'll really get a feel for the quality of the materials you'd be getting if you purchased the book and the flash cards. If you are committed to developing your skills, you owe it to yourself to get the book and the flashcards. For basically $50, you'll have a complete reference for guitar.

Mike Overly - Guitar EncycloMedia
By A Customer
With his impressive book Mike thoroughly explains all the musical tools you run across as a guitarist - scales, intervals, pentatonic, arpeggios, chords, etc... the list is endless. It is one of the most complete reference book I have come across, equally addressing beginners and advanced players (although I think that it can be somewhat confusing to absolute beginners due to the huge information flood).
The strength of this book lies in it's timeless topics, meaning you can look up a topic when you want to learn more about it (or need information about it), rather than studying the entire book in one sitting.
