Resumen del Editor

Do you really need to know theory to be a good musician?

Do you need to be able to read music to play guitar? These are some of the first questions I’m usually asked as a guitar teacher. Over my 25+ year career as a musician and guitar teacher, I have come across many guitarists who cannot read a single note of music or tell you a major triad from a min7flat5 chord. In fact, I think it’s one of the most hotly debated topics in guitar playing circles anywhere around the world, certainly in the online space. I say relax! Which person is a better player? That’s a 100 percent subjective judgement, and it’s not for me to decide.

But I can teach you all the basics you need to know to be musically literate, right here in this simple book.

• Would you like a music theory book that doesn’t use complicated language?
• Are you sick and tired of music theory being taught for guitarists in a way that is optimized for keyboard/piano players?
• Do you want to discover creative guitar soloing and songwriting secrets?
• Do you want to understand and use guitar scales, chords, and modes more fully?
• Wouldn’t it be nice to know more about groove, rhythm, and the fundamentals of what makes music exciting and fun?
• Want to know the one secret that will change everything you thought you knew about the guitar and cut your learning time to a fraction of what you thought it would take?

Inside you’ll learn:

• How to construct and when to use the major and minor guitar scales and modes
• How to harmonize a scale and use chords to write songs
• A simple guide to naming chords
• A breakdown of every important type of chord
• How to write chord progressions like the pros
• Advanced chord and scale formulas to truly take your playing outside the box
• Discover the secret of pentatonic scales you can use right now to create rich-sounding solos that’ll amaze your friends
• And much more!

Includes Ear Training Course, designed so you can learn and know the difference between a minor 2nd and a major 6th as well as be able to know and hear the differences between all triads and most relevant 7th chord types!

Great for a beginner like me!

I'm still very new to playing guitar and I found this audiobook very easy to listen to and understand. I can tell the writer is a teacher at heart, he explains things in such a simple, yet effective way. The included pdf copy has all of the charts and diagrams which made it even easier for the information to sink in, I highly recommend utilizing both. Such a great purchase!

GREAT place to start!

I've wanted to learn guitar my entire life and I finally started trying. The only problem is that most of the "free" content available is worth every penny. I found that when it came to Music Theory, most of it was way over my head. This author seems to understand that a beginner needs things presented in plain English that someone who is just beginning will understand. Now when I attempt to talk to my other guitarist friends, I am actually understanding them instead of just smiling and nodding. The included pdf with its charts and diagrams is a huge help and as if this book wasn't already awesome, there is a free ear training course as well! Why are you still reading this review??? Buy this audiobook NOW!

Great to Beginners!

I have always loved listening to music since I was young, and there I wanted to learn to play the guitar. I'm a newbie like a baby if I may say so. It's like learning the Chinese language. I find it complicated, learning the notes, writing the score etc.

I found it enjoyable to listen to the author and teacher share his passion.

What is very pleasant is that the PDF is included, and I am more visual than auditory. So, I am satisfied with the two formats of the book. I had to listen to it and read it at the same time, several times, to understand more and to unravel the notes.

I recommand it. It is perfect for beginners. Learn to play your favorite music as the author says.
