    • Finally demystified everything about music theory for me
I can't say enough positive things about this brief little book! I read through the reviews here before buying figuring that I could use the Chord Wheel but the rest of the book would be unhelpful. So many people said the same thing. I absolutely disagree! The 12 pages in this brief book cover more material, more simply and clearly, than anything else I have ever come across. Most books I have seen start with basics, and build on with excercises that I get lost in for lack of ability to see the big picture. What am I supposed to be learning? How does it all fit together? Why isn't this fun? I would have to practically earn a PhD in music before I would ever figure out how to be creative and actually enjoy playing music with most music instruction books. THIS book, on the other hand, is invaluable. The Chord Wheel itself, as everyone seems to agree, is really cool. Pick a key, play the chords within that chord family (found online or by looking them up in a separate chord reference guide) in any order or combination that appeals to you, and you sound good playing your instrument. The 12 pages of text are OUTSTANDING. The first time I read through it, I couldn't understand it at all. The second time, it took some concentration but I managed to comprehend everything. The third time, I understood it with less effort and it made just a little more sense. After the third time through I started asking questions - what about minor keys? There are minor keys, right? I read more closely and it all started clicking. I may not be able to teach it to someone else just yet, but every time I read it, it makes more and more sense. The thing is, it's only twelve pages, so you can read it in a short time. You don't have to master every concept to at least understand how it all fits together - and once you understand that, everything else is easier to learn. Chord progressions and analysis, circle of fifths, scales, modes - learn what that means here, and you'll have a strong conceptual foundation to get the most out of other music books - the ones I couldn't get through! I may revisit them, but there is enough here for me to work on (actually playing music, not reading and working through exercises), that I don't feel any urgency just now. Just give the book a chance. Read through it more than once. If you don't get it, you will if you keep at it. It actually isn't all that hard, really, it is just that people like me with a minimal to zero musical background are naturally going to have a hard time building a conceptual framework for undestanding the language of music. If you are looking for something to get you up and running, this is it! Combine it with chord reference charts or you won't be able to use it (if you can't play the chords!) but you can find that stuff online or at the library. ... show more

    • A great reference to start with and to get you writing those Grammy hits sooner
This is the book that have if you want to solve the puzzle of music I would also suggest that you get a college Edition text on first-year music theory and that will make this book more relevant and using the lessons caught and this text should help you it's definitely a place to understand the important rules of music and apply them while practicing just play around with them put the rule in use when you're playing the piano or the guitar or whatever your instrument is and like a video game or any skill that you undertake the more that you do that the greater your understanding will become and the more skilled you'll become but it will take effort but this text of the Circle of will help you leap I had and writing the songs that you've been wanting to write Another idea that you might want to pursue which was beneficial to me was to actually take a class at the local University 38th and music theory the way that that can be helpful is I learn more by sight then I Do by reading text it's what it's called kinesthetic learning and just the discussions the testing the going over the rules drawing things examples on the Whiteboard that your professor will do when he or she are discussing the rules of music was very helpful to me it is a hard class I'm not talkin about Elementary music theory classes I'm talking about the first class that a music Major would take in college in the study of Music Theory and you will work for you grade but you could also take it and request it be not for a grade but you're doing it simply to learn music theory and the participation with the other students and with the professor and going through the readings and the test 4 a quarter or semester whichever the school decides is the best way a grading. Should take place I found very very helpful and it's something that will stick with you and if you don't use it a little bit of refresher in from the book which I would suggest you keep and not sell back to the bookstore and this book will get you right back in the saddle again should you have to detour away from music for a little while but this particular text is a pretty good place to start if you want to hit the beach running in music I apologize for this being a long evaluation of this book but I thought it was also a good opportunity to give a few ideas about how to become solid in understanding the Mysteries that are the rules of music and with that in mind the Beatles did not know how to read music studied very little music theory and became the most prolific and greatest band in history but I threw the ideas out there so that you can decide which is best for you you might think and if you want to pursue things like the Beatles this book will give you a little bit more than they had and help you write those number one hits and break into stardom a little bit quicker :-) ... show more
