Welcome to G-DEC 3! Guitarists who explore the G-DEC's onboard loop content may want a few suggestions of
"what to play" along with the loops. This document should help to get you started. DISCLAIMER: A full music theory
lesson, chord diagrams, and scale explanations are beyond the scope of this document. Many great music theory
learning materials are available online or in print. A good place to start your search is with our friends at Hal Leonard
Publications, one of the best sources for printed music. Visit them at www.halleonard.com
