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!

Story
Why would I want to learn all the notes of my fretboard? Over my 25+ year career as a musician and guitar teacher, I have come across many guitarists who cannot name all the frets on the fretboard. Learning the guitar or music theory for that matter, with no knowledge of the basic fundamental organization of the fretboard is a bit like trying to learn to swim without getting into the water.

If you are just entering into the world of guitar, it is likely that you’ve heard a thing or two about scales. Unfortunately, many new guitarists shudder when they hear the word scale. Music theory can certainly seem intimidating if you don’t know where to start! This book will help you understand that learning scales is not difficult or tedious. In fact, scales can be tons of fun if you know how to use them to make music.

That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after listening to Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit.

Do you need to be able to read music to play guitar? These are some of the first questions I’m usually asked as a guitar teacher. Over my 25+ year career as a musician and guitar teacher, I have come across many guitarists who cannot read a single note of music or tell you a major triad from a min7flat5 chord. In fact, I think it’s one of the most hotly debated topics in guitar playing circles anywhere around the world, certainly in the online space. I say relax! Which person is a better player? That’s a 100 percent subjective judgement, and it’s not for me to decide.

For generations the electric guitar has been an international symbol of freedom, danger, rebellion, and hedonism. In Play It Loud, Brad Tolinski and Alan di Perna bring the history of this iconic instrument to roaring life. It's a story of inventors and iconoclasts, of scam artists, prodigies, and mythologizers as varied and original as the instruments they spawned. Play It Loud uses 12 landmark guitars - each of them artistic milestones in their own right - to illustrate the conflict and passion the instruments have inspired.

Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Do you need to be able to read music to play guitar? These are some of the first questions I’m usually asked as a guitar teacher. Over my 25+ year career as a musician and guitar teacher, I have come across many guitarists who cannot read a single note of music or tell you a major triad from a min7flat5 chord. In fact, I think it’s one of the most hotly debated topics in guitar playing circles anywhere around the world, certainly in the online space. I say relax! Which person is a better player? That’s a 100 percent subjective judgement, and it’s not for me to decide.

Ear training is one of the most rewarding skills you can develop, and it’s one that you can work on every day. Which makes total sense: Music is an aural experience, after all. Ear training helps you turn the music you hear into music you make on your guitar. This works for your own musical ideas, too: When you dream up a great riff or chord progression, you naturally want to sit down and play it right away. Ear training helps you do just that.

life changing
Why has no one ever explained music theory to me this way before! Love it. This book is making a huge difference for me.

Great for beginners
This audiobook has been extremely useful for me to understand music theory and how it relates to the guitar. I've listened to it several times during my commute and exercise. I review the PDF after my exercise to make sure my visualizations match up with the material being taught. I get a little lost in the second half but it's becoming more clear with each relisten. Highly recommend to add this to your queue to listen on the go.

Excellent overview!
Organized and well presented information. A lot covered in a short time. Solid foundation if you can keep up.
