Sooner or later every serious guitarist will be appreciated that a solid theoretical background is the only way.
Your ear can only take you so far, that's when your musical theory can kick in and remove any musical obstacles in your way to fully expressing yourself.
It seems pretty simple to.
just go to the music shop and pick up a theory book and away we go; away we go alright.
Take the book and you were wrong in the end even more confused than ever before.
Musical fact of life # 1:
Not all theory books are created equal.
I remember when I had my first job at a music store music began, I had some with a reputation as a player, etc. in the play in dance clubs, bands.
, and since I had already sold quite a bit of musical equipment for the music store based on my track record they thought I would be the obvious choice; ifr
the store had a potential guitar or amp customer they would leave a message with my mum, then after school I would go down to the store and demonstrate the gear.
It all started well, I stumbled and fumbled my way through guitar lessons, I\m not sure who learned more than I or my students I know I learned a lot, on each day, as they do not teach.
Anyway, very early in the piece the store manager informed me that if I was going to continue teaching for the store I would need to be "qualified"; I didn't know exactly what that entailed but it did sound scary
As it turned out what he meant was I needed to be formally qualified.
only able to play the guitar was not good enough when I was about to teach guitar.
The good news was they were going to pay for my lessons so that was neat.
There was more good news, I was able to walk into the classroom to the theory, instead of working in the workshop.
So I began my theory lessons and very soon became frustrated, confused and perplexed.
Things that I knew worked on the stage the night before, not with the theoretical training the next day.
The more confused I became the more determined I was about finding the "truth"; so I started studying with other teachers to augment my "paid" lessons from the music store.
Boy has that make things worse, as if every teacher had their own theory of inclination of many things seemed to agree not to do basic concepts.
Long story short.
to play after much reflection and research, I discovered.
Without Music Life 2: There are different types of theory.
in fact there are three distinct types of theory: classical, jazz and rock/blues!
These are very broad categories they are all important and the complete musician needs to be aware of their similarities and differences.
It is full of traditional classical theory pounds and will therefore not be discussed here.
Modern theory as applied to improvisation and the music of our time is what I'm about.
It's nice to know what happened 400 years ago, but is unlikely to ensure that the rock concert on Friday evening, here are my first three books of the modern theory for the guitarist title: Modern Method for Guitar - William Leavitt (Berklee Press) Available from: Berklee.
