Music Theory for Guitarists

Ten lessons on what the notes actually are and why songs do what they do — the musical alphabet, the major scale, intervals, how chords get built, the chords that belong to a key, Roman numerals, relative minors, the circle of fifths, and counting time. Written for someone who can already play a few chords but has never known what any of them are called or why they go together.
