Guitar Theory Basics 101 - Learn It NOW!

30 Seconds Of Your Time?

If I say a phrase, can you PROMISE me to give me another 30 seconds of your time before you close the page?

OK.... lets give it a go....

Guitar Theory!

I did it! Damn - clocks ticking - 30 seconds right?

Please use my 30 seconds to read the following....

Imagine learning every word in a dictionary, but never being told how to use the words that you have learned or even knowing what they mean?

You've learned the entire English Dictionary - but still cannot communicate a message

Imagine reading the most powerful and emotional poem, seeing the tears in the eyes of those who you read it to - but having no concept of why those people are crying - or what has connected them so deeply to the words you have read.

Theory turns "something" into "everything" - its what turns the white dots in the sky at night into stars - Its what turns letters into words and words into expressions - The World of guitar playing without grasping the theory is a World of missed opportunities and muted expression.

Cultivate an interest in the basic theory - and you will find EVERY moment with your guitar more rewarding for it.

The thrill you get from understanding the why and how - its hard to appreciate without experiencing it yourself - but for some its much easier to deny any joy could ever come of it - and convince themselves they have missed out on nothing at all.

 Ask yourself what you have ever achieved in life that you excelled at despite not knowing "how?" or "why?"

Its never too late start - and it would be great to start right at the beginning of your journey into learning as you will find it so much fun if you do.

Final Words

When I was teaching guitar - most of the time I was teaching players who were much "better" than me - had played for much longer than me - who were in bands - playing night after night - who were so depressed because they felt so trapped by the limitations of not knowing why what they played worked.

Every one of them were grateful when they realised just how easy guitar theory was - and just how many doors it unlocked for them musically.

If you're convinced its worth more than 30 seconds of your time ... Maybe watch the video?

Yehhaaa - lest do this!!! :)
