Music Theory: From Beginner to Expert - The Ultimate Step-By-Step Guide to Understanding and Learning Music Theory Effortlessly Details
About the Author Hi there, Nicolas here, A few words about me. I'm a mostly self-taught guitar player with 15 years of playing experience who loves to study and simplify complex, fascinating and useful subjects. That's why music theory has been one of my bigger passions in life which has captivated me ever since I started playing. I also love to share anything that has benefited me that I know can also benefit and inspire others. This naturally led me to putting together a music theory book in which I shared everything I could, all the profound insights I learned, in a unique, simple and easily understandable way, for anyone looking to get better at music theory. My goal is to inspire you to study music theory and develop your musical skills on your instrument(s) because, as I've seen and experienced, this is one of the most rewarding journeys in life. I'm all about continuous life-improvement and discovering your true-self so that we can find and attract beauty into our lives, become the best we can be, and simply maximize meaning and happiness as much as possible. Playing music and guitar, or any other instrument, I feel is a big part of that! It is indeed one of the best ways we can learn to communicate, express ourselves and feel more confident in life! I wish you all the best experiences on your journey. Stay tuned, Nicolas guitaryourday.com Read more
Reviews
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.I found the explanations thorough and easy to understand. Scales, chords - how they are built and how they relate, chord substitutions, modes, inversions and extensions all became more clear to me and will give the aspiring songwriter a wealth of ideas to explore and have fun with.Not that you need to be or want to be a songwriter to benefit. All players should know the information in this book.Being such a broad and deep subject, it's impossible to cover all of the aspects of theory in a single book but this little gem certainly has enough that anyone wanting to get a grasp of the more important/fundamental concepts of music theory will be well rewarded.I don't often rate anything 5 stars but Nicolas' book comes close to that standard for me.The (very minor) faults as I see it are an occasional mis-spelling and such, maybe auto spell raised it's ugly head once or twice.I want to re-read it and update this review as I didn't bother making any notes while reading but all in all I would highly recommend this book to anyone with no knowledge on the subject, or someone like me with a more intermediate understanding.I'm sure there are professional players who could gain a lot from reading it.I'll be looking at Carter's other books and hope their quality are as good as this one.I'm very impressed with this book and want to help encourage more from this author so I also paid for a copy.It's that good.
