This book is a 'hands-on' approach to music theory with lots of playing examples for the Banjo. Music theory does not have to be mysterious or difficult. In fact taken a little bit at a time it?s easy and fun! Each ofthe approximately 50 lessons in this book has a limited scope but by the time you complete them you will have a thorough understanding of the basics of music theory as applied to the Banjo. While a single book can't covereverything in so vast a subject the author has tried to choose topics that will address the needs of most beginning Banjo players. These include: scale theory reading tablature and standard notation key signatures accidentals transposition time signatures and note values intervals and chord construction the three kinds of minor scales pentatonic scales and more. In addition each chapter features playing examples and review questions to both testand clarify understanding of the materials presented. Rather than proceeding from chapter to chapter as each individual Banjo player is likely at a different point in their musical journey the reader is encouraged to?jump around and spend more time in those areas that interest you most.? The important thing about the journey is to begin. Includes access to online audio and video.
