Music Theory for Guitarists, Book 1: Master the Essential Knowledge all Guitarists Need to Know (Theory and Practice)

Music Theory for Guitarists, Book 1 teaches you how to read and understand music, using an approach developed. This book begins with the most basic aspect of contemporary music: rhythm. This book continues with a rigorous, hands-on, “ears-on” exploration of the inner workings of music, presenting notes, scales, and sounds as they are heard in jazz, blues, and popular music.

This essential method features rigorous, hands-on, "ears-on" practice exercises that will help you to learn and build upon the basic concepts of music theory with written exercises, listening examples, and ear training exercises will help you to build a solid musical foundation.

Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced musician who wants to learn more, you’ll develop music listening, reading, and writing skills through exercises and ear training practice. I encourage you to work with a real keyboard, but if you don’t have access to one, you can use the cut-out keyboard at the back of this book.
By the end of the book, you'll be able to read musical notes on a staff, write and use correct rhythm notation, and construct scales and intervals—and recognize them by ear. You will have the sounds and understanding you can use immediately to become a more effective musician.
