Musical theory is the How and Whys of music. Theory is a way of explaining why certain notes and chords sound good together and others don’t. Having a good grasp of music theory is vital to becoming a good musician. There is a big difference between a guitarist and musician. A guitarist will typically know only a few chords and a couple keys. A musician will know how to play in all twelve keys. He will be more comfortable with some but can navigate through any song set in front of him. So the question is, “Is it hard to learn music theory?” The answer is Definitely NOT. If you have a course laid out in a systematic method, it will be easy to understand and fun to progress through the material. In the years I have been teaching, I have created a music theory program that is divided into twenty five sections. I believe every serious guitarist must have a firm grasp on these twenty five sections in order to become a musician.
