The Guitarist's Music Theory Book - The Most Useful Guitar Music Theory Book

I've been playing sax and guitar for 40 years so a lot in this book was already familiar to me. BUT....I was surprised how much additional information was included along with the music theory fundamentals. It's written like the author's having a conversation in real time and addressing questions that anyone would have during a presentation. Really well done. I got a lot out of it. As good or better than any I've read.

This book is barer than even the bare essentials, and the layout is very rudimentary and not professionally done. With all the other books out there for a similar price, this book is not a competitive choice.

Not for beginners in music theory.

Excellent straightforward approach to music theory for the learning guitar player. I love the Kindle Edition as I can add notes and Flashcards to quiz myself for improved memorization which is ultimately what it boils down to if you want to learn enough Theory to make oneself a better musician.

I've been playing for about two years, and I was looking for a book that would help me piece together some of the fragmented knowledge I have. This book is not it. It covers basic principles, which is great, but I just wish it was marketed as such. If you've never played or are just starting, this is a good place to begin. If you have some experience, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

More music theory--doesn't seem to change. I was hoping for a little more of a different approach or new perception of the study. I guess that's pretty hard to do.

This Book is a clear look at learning the guitar in an easy approach for everyone who loves the guitar.

it's OK

It's a good book but limited in some ways. It's worth it if you want an introduction to key music terminology with good explanations but a few areas could do with clear explanations or more detail. Useful for a beginner to the guitar or if you don't know much theory but not useful for a veteran player.

Finally a great book about music theory especially designed for guitarist. This book gives you a basic overall theory about the main topics in music theory, so not only one specific topic. It describes the theory in a very understanding way with lots of examples. There is also a website with audio examples which supports the theory.I have different books for helping me to play the guitar and for understanding the theory behind it, but this book is outstanding.

This is a very good book for beginner through to intermediate guitar players. It covers all the essential theory in simple and brief terms. It is written in a very understandable form and covers just the right level of theory musicians at all but the most advanced level. It is also a very good source book. This book will help you to understand relevant music theory from a guitarist's perspective. Written by guitarists for guitarists it does what is written on the can.

This is a must have book along with the scales book, recommended to anyone who plays guitar.

Very thorough, good book.
