An Understandable Guide to Music Theory: The Most Useful Aspects of Theory for Rock, Jazz, and Blues Musicians ReviewThis is a very small, short gloss. Quite a few topics in music theory are briefly touched on, a significant number fairly esoteric, especially given that it assumes (sort of) that the reader knows next to nothing about music. It might be worthwhile as a sort of overview, but it occurs to me that the innocent novice might come away with a rather distorted idea of music theory--maybe not. (Click on the author's name, and see what other disparate titles he has published. I wonder how much this book really cares about music.) On the other hand, it may be just what you're looking for, just what you need.For some reason this is being compared below to a different sort of book altogether, essentially a jazz and rock technique book. I happen to be familiar with it too, and I wouldn't suggest it (primarily, at least) as an alternative to the book I'm reviewing. On the other hand, that other book doesn't just "list scales": it shows you right hand and left hand fingerings in every key (the fingerings depend on the key, you know) for conventional pentatonic scales, as well as for pentatonic scales you haven't heard of before and says how all these scales mesh together. In addition to the "theory" section at the beginning--which, incidentally, can be understood by pretty much everyone with enough technique to attempt the scales--it shows as it goes along how you might put to use each kind of pentatonic scale. In so doing, it demonstrates briefly and concisely the essential tonal material of the blues--what I suspect someone below is getting at--but this is not its main intent.
In any case, as possible alternatives to this book (if one is desired), that is, to AN UNDERSTANDABLE GUIDE TO MUSIC THEORY...etc., I suggest THE ABC OF MUSIC by Imogen Holst (isn't it silly we that we can't post italics?) for beginners and TWENTIETH CENTURY COMPOSITION by Leon Dallin for intermediate "students". Just a couple of ideas.An Understandable Guide to Music Theory: The Most Useful Aspects of Theory for Rock, Jazz, and Blues Musicians Overview
