  • Powerful concepts, like intervals, chord extensions, modes and modal scales, that grant access to a world of musical possibilities 
  • How popular songs apply elements of guitar theory and how you can apply the same techniques 

Free yourself from the confines of tab sheets and simple chords and start enjoying all the musical potential of your guitar. Guitar Theory For Dummies is for anyone who wants to unlock the next stage of their musical journey.
