Scales can often be the most frustrating part of a guitarist's journey and learning the fretboard is no easy feat, either! To start with, many guitarists cannot even name the note they just played, despite being awesome players. To me, this is a clear blind spot and learning the fretboard should be an essential part of any guitarist's journey. So, that explains the need for that.

Ear training is one of the most rewarding skills you can develop, and it’s one that you can work on every day. Which makes total sense: Music is an aural experience, after all. Ear training helps you turn the music you hear into music you make on your guitar. This works for your own musical ideas, too: When you dream up a great riff or chord progression, you naturally want to sit down and play it right away. Ear training helps you do just that.

Title is misleading & no audio examples
The title of this book is very misleading. I think it is too complicated for an absolute beginner and it will not make a listener of any level an expert. I consider myself an advanced beginner and there is very little content with which I was not already familiar. It is a solid summary for someone with some musical experience to help them gain a better understanding of basic theory.
Also, being an audio book, I was expecting audio examples of the concepts, but there isn't a single one. There are a number of places where this would have been helpful. For example, when talking about major and minor scales, it would have been helpful to have an audio example demonstrating why major scales are considered to be happy and minor scales sad. To not go beyond simply reading the text of the book is a big miss on the opportunity to take advantage of the audio medium. There are a number of very good free resources on the internet that provide the same content and include audio examples. For me, there wasn't the 'value add' I expected for the price.

To those who are upset about the missing pdf
I know this isn’t a big concern and has probably already been posted but...., if you have a subscription to the Audible app it would stand to reason that you probably have other Amazon-type subscriptions (and you should). This is because the secret fix to the issues of the missing PDF files, lie within in another Amazon app..... kindle! When u purchase the audiobook versions, you are also purchasing the kindle version of the book as well, sooooo....?!Simply go to amazon.com/kindle (or the mobile app) and act like your buying the kindle version and as you will notice, once refreshed, the browser will automatically update the Kindle app library to include the text version. Once done you simply listen to the book until you reach a point where the book has prompted the use of a visual aid, we firstly, navigate over to your kindle app. Then simply open the same book your listening to. There you will find that you can listen and read!! This is not an “excuse”! The audiobook should include all that is supposed to be in the paperback or kindle types without question!! At least now you understand a little more than ya knew before about you Amazon products! P.S....emailing amazon directly about a issue usually gets one something for free or other compensation like full refunds! They’re very nice!

An Excellent Overview With a Missed Opportunity
Would you consider the audio edition of Music Theory: from Absolute Beginner to Expert to be better than the print version?
No. It could be if pdfs of the charts were provided, but more importantly if the examples were actually played on the piano and incorporated into the audiobook.
What other book might you compare Music Theory: from Absolute Beginner to Expert to and why?
I don't know. I was a music major in college and just listened to this as a little refresher course. All the information was accurate.
Which character – as performed by Bryan Howard – was your favorite?
N/A. It was an instructional guide.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Music - It's Just a Theory.
Any additional comments?
Audio examples would have greatly enhanced the material which was presented competently and completely.

This is an excellent book
If I had listened to the other reviews I would not have purchased this title..
But I’m glad I did. It’s all in there logically progressing from very simple ideas to more complex. It may require a second third or fourth listen. You may need to take notes and create charts from what this guy says but it’s all in there. Maybe it’s just not a book for lazy people. Hearing some musical examples would be pleasant and fun but it would just be fluff cluttering up these excellent explanations. If you think hearing a chord or a tone is gonna make you suddenly “get it” you are not ready for this book. I’d give it more stars if I could . It is technically rich and concise at the same time . Love it

Not Great
The information is there, but having purchase this book through Audible, I was not provided with the PDF for references. I also feel that audio examples should have been provided. Talking about music theory concepts such as intervals, scales, chords, and chord progressions and describing how they sound is not the same as hearing how they sound.
I am a high school music teacher trying to find an additional resource for my students and feel that to the untrained or novice musician this book with further confuse them on a topic that is already dry, tedious, and confusing.

Rip-Off!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
No. I purchased this expecting that sound examples would be audible - i.e. played on a piano. Instead, the audible book refers to figures and diagrams which are not available to me. I order to see these, I have to purchase an additional kindle version. I feel swindled!
Has Music Theory: from Absolute Beginner to Expert put you off other books in this genre?
Yes - the book is fine, but I'm only getting half the story which reduces the effectiveness by a considerable percentage
Would you be willing to try another one of Bryan Howard’s performances?
Not via Audible

I learned some things but...
...without any played examples just some PDFs, I don't feel like I learned as much as I could given the obvious knowledge of the author
This book could be greatly improved by the inclusion of illustrations by way of played music. About one third should be this and two thirds examples of music illustrating the topic. For some reason I cannot find a musical theory course on Audible which has any actual music in it.

simply fantastic
I might need another listen to fully comprehend the concepts given. However, this audiobook gave clear and succinct explanations on musical concepts, (that I had previously no understanding of), in only a few hours. The tone of the writing and narration worked incredibly well in keeping me entertained and engaged throughout my entire listen. I would recommend this to anyone curious about music theory as a brilliant introduction.
