The Practical Guide to Modern Music Theory for Guitarists

Do you find yourself soloing not really knowing if what you’re playing is ‘right’?
Have you found yourself ‘collecting’ musical theory without taking the time to learn to apply the information to your guitar?
Do you wish you understood what you were playing so you could take your skills to the next level?

The Complete Guide to Modern Music Theory begins with essential first principles all the way through to complex, exciting musical ideas while all the time teaching you the musical application of each concept. You aren’t just “learning theory” but applying it to your guitar as you go.

• PLUS practice with professional backing tracks from Guitar Techniques Magazine’s Quist

Essential Knowledge and Musical Skills

The Complete Guide to Modern Music Theory begins with the formation of the Major scale and builds steadily from the concepts taught in the first few chapters to help you master, hear and apply all the essential theory used today.

Theory topics covered include:

• Major and Minor Scale Construction, Harmonisation and How to Name Chords

• Constructing Chord Progressions, Modulation and Chord Qualities

• Complete Study of Modes with real world examples.
