desertcart.com: Mel Bay Fingerboard Theory for Guitar A Music Theory Text for Guitarists: 0796279086080: Christiansen, Mike: Books

Review: Not for beginners - This book is excellent for intermediate to advanced guitarists. I know just like me, many guitarists that have been playing for a while get scared of studying the theories and tend to stay in the comfort zone playing what we already know. At the first few pages, the book seems to be easy on me as it shows some very basic knowledge. But it starts to speeds up quickly and made me uncomfortable with the new materials. But the more I study, I realized that those theories are very practical. I'm about 1/4 through the book and have learned more than the last 5 years. Highly recommended for serious guitarists as self-study or teaching material.
Review: Really good reference - I own other music theory books for guitar..but this one is really good since it covers lots of subjects such as intervals, inverted intervals, harmonizing a melody with triads, drop-two chords, the modes,etc. It's an excellent reference book. 2012 Review:In order to help potential buyers this book is focused on chord construction,chord substitutions and harmonizing melodies which is important in comping (accompaniment)and songwriting. No other theory book has drop 2 and drop 3 chords which are necessary in jazz playing. It is not for beginners, however it gives excellent information.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not impressed!
*by K***N on November 11, 2010*

To be honest, I have no idea how this book got all those five stars from the other reviewers. This book might be good if accompanied with a teacher. However, in my opinion, it starts well then gets in the deep waters in no time; for example, on page 18, the author asks students to improvise solos to the following progression CMajor (Dmi7, G7, Dmi7, G7, CMAJ7). How a novice that has just started with less than 18 pages in music theory is supposed to know what Dmi7 and G7 are?
