No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists is Perfect for You If:
- Not understanding music theory is holding you up, affecting your confidence as a musician and stopping you from becoming the kind of guitar player you want to be
- You're a singer/songwriter who needs to learn about chords, keys, chord progressions etc in order to write great songs (like you hear on recordings!)
- You want to learn about music theory but you have no idea where to start and you need a proven step-by-step method to follow
- You're a student who needs a 'crash course' in practical music theory to prepare for college courses, auditions, exams etc
- You're a beginner who wants a simple understanding of how music actually works as you take your first steps in learning to play the guitar

A Word From The Author
“I wrote this book because I know just how damn confusing most theory books written for guitar players are. Seems like they're written by people who have never actually taught the stuff in the book to another guitar player face to face.
I've taught over 25,000 hours of guitar lessons. And I have seen first-hand just how quickly any guitar player can bring their music theory knowledge up to scratch if they're just shown the right things, in the right order, in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists does exactly what it says it does: teaches you 99% of the music theory most guitar players and singer/songwriters will ever need to know, but without all the confusing words, poor explanations and other things that make learning theory a pain in the butt.
I believe that with what I show you in this book, any guitar player can learn most of the music theory they'll ever need in a matter of hours... and I'm really happy to report that hundreds of reviews and comments from readers tell me that this is indeed possible.
So I hope you'll join me on this voyage of musical discovery and find out just how useful and simple music theory can be when it's shown to you in the right way ”
