About this listen
No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists is the groundbreaking guitar theory book for guitar players. Now, guitarists of all levels can understand most of the music theory they'll ever need, without the confusion. Easy-to-understand language, explanations, and practical examples mean you can understand in hours music theory concepts that can confuse guitar players for years. No music reading or theory knowledge required!
In the audio, you hear all examples demonstrated (plus extra "audiobook only" demos by the author). Twelve bite-sized chapters teach you the following topics and show you how to use them in your playing, improvising, and song writing:
- The Musical Alphabet - the 12 notes used in music
- Tones and Semitones
- The Major Scale - what it is and why you need it
- Major and Minor Triads (used in most pop, country, rock, and folk music)
- Intervals (major scale and chromatic)
- Major Keys (the secret to writing great songs and solos)
- Chord Progressions (start writing pro sounding chord sequences/songs)
- Pentatonic Scales (most common guitar scales ever)
- The Natural Minor Scale (for minor key soloing)
- Minor Key Basics - understand minor key songs and chord sequences
Perfect for learning guitar music theory at beginner/intermediate level, boosting knowledge to improve playing/songwriting, understanding other musicians use, and learning to write better songs.
I wrote this as the antidote to the confusing, poorly explained music theory books guitarists (including me) have had to struggle with until now, so grab your guitar and nail 99 percent of the music theory you need, with No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists!

Great for dyslexia
I’m dyslexic so any theory does not come easy, so using the audiobook along side the work is a lot easier to work with. It still takes a long time for thinks to sink in, but this book and the notes work book is so easy to follow and great content. I will definitely be getting the next book.

Very helpful
I found this book very helpful in starting to understand the fretboard better.
The PDF book that goes with the audio is key.Once you use the PDF with the chapters that you need it makes life easier. I was lazy and first time round tried to use my minds eye. So download the PDF.

Excellent Intro into Music Theory for Guitarists
I was initially a little sceptical about the audio nature of this music theory for guitarists. However, listening to the audio with the relevant workbook pages being displayed on screen or printed out works pretty well. A lot of this first volume consolidates snippets of music theory that I had previously picked up from other sources. It has significantly increased my understanding in various areas. Explanations and examples are clear concise.
