Garage Band Theory: Music theory for non music majors - practical, useful theory for living-room pickers and working musicians who want to be able to ... speak coherently about the music they play.
Garage Band Theory covers everything you need to understand, play and make your own music! GBT combines the freedom of playing by ear and the strength of traditional music theory. This is practical, useful theory for living-room pickers and working musicians who want to be able to think coherently about music in order to ask questions and understand answers about the music they want to play. The stuff in GBT is about understanding The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, The Grateful Dead and Vampire Weekend. It's NOT about analyzing Bach Fugues - but you'll be able to if you want to. Here is a very brief recap of what you get when you order GBT: •Multi-genre approach – dozens of musical examples provide lots of variety, which makes you more well rounded musically. •Chapter quizzes and an answer key allow students to measure progress. •Learn to read music — with GBT examples + free software you develop reading skills without having to actually play an instrument. •Tablature for guitar, mandolin, banjo as well as a standard notation for keyboards, brass and woodwinds. It also includes keyboard illustrations, hundreds of standard notation illustrations. There are loads of exercises and examples using familiar songs and with the free downloads on the book's website you can watch and hear the notes play at any speed you choose. The YouTube channel has over 250 videos so you can listen to every song used as an example. After all, playing by ear is about listening and GBT is the ONLY book that provides that.
