Synopses & Reviews
This extensively revised third edition of David Harp's best-selling Music Theory Made Easy is an easy to follow treatment of a difficult subject. Without requiring the reader to know standard notation, the guide uses pictures, diagrams, and simple analogies to cover all the theory topics involved in playing - and understanding - blues, rock, country, pop, and simple jazz music. The 74 minute CD lets you hear what each scale, chord, and chord progression sounds like, and provides play-along tracks in commonly used keys for each style of music.
Synopsis
Many players are intimidated by music theory because most music theory methods are written for classically trained musicians and require the reader to know standard music notation. The method outlined in this useful guide is considered by many to be the most user-friendly music theory method ever. The book covers blues, rock, folk, country, pop, and jazz with no hard-to-read standard notation included, and comes with a 74-minute CD. It's perfect for any instrument, any level of player, and is an essential tool for would-be songwriters.
