Inhaltsangabe

Garage Band Theory was conceived, written, proofed, edited and designed by living, breathing musicians, teachers, artists and writers.

For less than the price of a single lesson, Garage Band Theory offers a lifetime of learning.

It's a gift that keeps giving.

GBT covers everything you need to understand, play and make your own music!

• lets you listen to hundreds of examples for every instrument.

• combines the freedom of playing by ear and the strength of traditional music theory.

• assumes you know nothing about basic theory and is written in a conversational, easy to follow style.

GBT provides vocabulary that will let you ask your teacher questions you want answers to – and lets the teacher focus on dynamics, technique and applying these concepts to music you want to play

It's all in there, everything you ever wanted to know, but didn't know how to ask.

GBT is practical, useful theory for 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.

GBT is about understanding The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and The Grateful Dead.

It's NOT about analyzing Bach Fugues - but you'll be able to if you want to.

Whether you're a beginner, a professional, studying on your own or with a teacher, GBT has loads of useful stuff for you.

•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.
•GBT has hundreds of tabs for banjo, bass, guitar, mandolin, ukulele and standard notation for keyboards and transposing instruments.
