I think music theory is best studied one segment at a time so it will probably do what you need. Mel Bay publishes "good stuff". I've not read this one, but, would think it would be OK. Price is right.
Here is a 6 step approach see if you can get anything from it. Print off a segment and find an easy chair. http://www.ibreathemusic.com/forums/...ad.php?t=11975 the articles at that site are very good, a little advanced, but, good.
Have fun.

| | | I've seen some good references here! To hold you over until you score one of the printed books AND for great brginner lessons you could do worse than www.musictheory.net.
Once you get really going I can recommend a great reference for jazz theory in Mark Levine's jazz theory book - http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Theory-Book-Mark-Levine/dp/1883217040... over 500 pages of heavy-hitting theory!
Good luck!

Honestly, you can find tons of good info here on the forum. Plus, you should visit: TalkBass Theory Thread StudyBass
and musictheory.net
Hope this helps!

There's enough theory and other info there to keep you busy for the next year.
Good luck.
Let us know how it goes. |
