Inside the 12 'bite-sized' chapters of this guitar theory book you’ll learn what you need to know about music theory essentials like the major scale, intervals, triads, major and minor keys, chord sequences, pentatonic scales and more. Plus, I'll show you how to apply each of these topics to your playing, improvising and songwriting.

This guitar music theory book is perfect for you if:

-You want to boost your music theory knowledge so you can become the guitar player you really want to be

-You're sick of being confused by the language other musicans use...but you can never find easy to understand explanations!

-You’re a singer-songwriter who needs to learn about chords, keys and chord progressions in order to write great songs (like you hear on recordings!)

-You want to learn music theory but are unsure where to start or what you need to know the most

-You’re a student who needs a crash course in music theory essentials to prepare for college auditions, entrance exams etc

-You feel confused and intimidated by the ‘jargon’ you hear other musicians or YouTube teachers use

-You ‘kind of’ understand theory… but you’re not really sure how well!

In the 12 lessons you’ll find super clear explanations, practical examples and quiz questions on the following must-know music theory topics:

-The Musical Alphabet (the only 12 notes used in all music!)

-Tones and Semitones

-The Major Scale (learn what it is, what to do with it and why you need it!)

-Major and Minor Triads (the essential chords used in most pop, country, rock and folk music)

-Major Scale Intervals (major 3rds, perfect 4ths...what are they?)

-Chromatic Intervals (discover what weird names like diminished and augmented really mean...)

-Major Keys (the secret to wring great songs and chord sequences or becoming a great improviser)

-Chord Progressions (start writing pro sounding chord sequences and songs of your own)

-Pentatonic Scales (learn most of what you need to know about the most common guitar scales ever…)

-The Natural Minor Scale (essential for minor key soloing in rock, pop and other styles)

-Minor Key Basics (learn the secrets of crafting and understanding minor key songs and chord sequences)

Each chapter introduces a new element of guitar theory. You get a clear but detailed explanation of the concept and multiple examples/practical exercises, FAQs and more to drive your understanding home.

You can even test yourself using the quiz questions at the end of each chapter to double check you've understood everything (answers supplied!).

To help you play certain practical examples there is also an appendix of common open chord shapes, barre chords and other useful resources at the back of the book.

Plus, every chapter is also available to you (free) as an audio file so you can immerse yourself in guitar theory whilst at the gym or walking the dog! You'll find details on how to get these in the book.

I wrote No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists as the antidote to all the confusing, badly written and poorly explained music theory books which guitarists (including me) have had to struggle with until now. I’ve taught the material in this book to thousands of musicians around the world both in person and via my website, and I can tell you this: learning about music theory doesn’t need to be scary, confusing, difficult or something that you avoid doing because you don’t know where to start. It can be done, and it can be done easily.

So grab your guitar and prepare to nail 99% of the music theory you need, with No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists!
