So, why learn about music theory anyway?
When I went to college I knew I would have to learn music theory, and it kinda freaked me out. Why? I thought it would take the fun out of music. I actually thought learning how music works would make music less interesting, but the fact is that it make music FAR MORE interesting. Listening to music, when you understand how it works, becomes even better. It also makes you a better musician. I had always heard people (especially guitarists) say they don’t need music theory, they just “play by feel”.
And while there is certainly merit to playing by feel, you’re actually able to play by feel better when you know what you’re doing. Imagine a cook who doesn’t know what his ingredients taste like and just throws together random combinations and hopes it turns out.
That’s a little bit like making music without knowing how all the ingredients work together.
Understanding even some basic music theory (if you stick with it and really learn it) will help you appreciate music at a deeper and more meaningful level.
Here’s some of what you’ll learn in the course:
- Basic music theory terminology (so you can impress your friends!)
- Scales (major, minor, pentatonic and the blues scale)
- Chords and chord construction (no hammer or nails required!)
- How scales, chords and keys relate to each other
- Chord progressions, and how to use them to learn songs by ear
- Fretboard theory, and how to memorize the fretboard
- Keys signatures (or, why some notes sound really good together and others do not)
-
Why some chords sounds good together and others do not
-
How to figure out any scale, and even create your own scales
- What chords to use when writing a song
- How to “practice” music theory
- Why the Beatles are great to study for music theory
- Rhythm, intervals, analysis, and anything else you want to know about (if time allows)
