Harmonielehre für Gitarre

Finally play less wrong! Why study music theory? Doesn't engaging with theory spoil the joy of making music and take away the guitarist's expressive and intense playing? No, quite the opposite is true! It is a widespread misconception that good music is best composed without regard to harmonic rules. The composer may not have been aware of it at first, but all the hits we know, whether from a jazz or pop composer, from Gershwin or the Beatles, follow the rules of music theory. This book introduces music theory and the associated concepts of scale and function theory, but only to the extent that it is useful for guitarists in practical application. Only when one truly understands chord connections and the resulting complete pieces of music can one fully tap into their creative potential.
