Unique, practical and straightforward way to learn music theory and discover how music really works. Newly updated and massively expanded edition with new content, exercises and images. This book also features the links to audio examples (hosted on external website). These examples allow you to hear the relevant music theory concepts and understand them better! Have you ever wanted: To know how music theory can make you a better player (on any instrument)? To understand how music works, why we have 12 notes, how they relate to each other and why we use intervals with imperfect resonance? To understand how music theory is not just some made up rules we invented out of thin air; how it's actually based on the natural laws and stems from natural occurrences, like overtone series? To unlock the mysteries of notes, intervals, music scales, modes, keys, circle of fifths, chords and chord progressions, rhythms and other important concepts in music, and how they all relate to one another? To get a deep understanding of scales, modes and chords, where they come from, what are the different types that exist, how they're built, and how to use any chord or scale in your playing? To learn how to form, name and play any chord that is possible to play? To learn how rhythm works and how to master your rhythm and timing skills that will make you sound like a pro on any instrument? To understand harmony and the magic behind all the beautiful music that you love and how you can (re)create it by yourself? To get a wider perspective on tonal harmony and how melody, harmony, and rhythm work together? To understand composition and improvisation, and how to use voice leading and chord inversions to create beautiful harmonies? To get a grasp on the advanced concepts (such as modal playing, atonality, polychords and polytonality, free music, etc.) that usually only advanced jazz musicians may consider using? But... Have you ever had trouble learning music theory or thought that it was unnecessary, boring or too hard to learn? Have you perhaps thought using intellect will be bad for your playing?

It is the book to have if you want to become a better musician, and have by your side as an immensely useful reference of knowledge.
