GBT Big Bundle
"I've taught music privately and in the classroom for over 30 years.
It would have been so much easier and better with a resource like Garage Band Theory."
It's all in there - everything you ever wanted to know but didn't know how to ask.
GBT provides vocabulary that will let you ask your teacher questions you want answers to, and that allows the teacher to focus on dynamics, technique and how to apply these concepts to the music you want to play.
"As a music teacher I am often challenged
by trying to explain simple but important theory concepts.
In this book, Duke has a real way with words.
He’s given me new and friendly ways
to share this vital information.
Garage Band Theory is an amazing tool
for both teachers and students"

GBT is practical and useful theory for musicians who want to be able to think coherently about music in order to ask questions and understand answers about the music they want to play.
GBT was designed to help students understand The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, The Grateful Dead and Taylor Swift.
It's not about reading music and analyzing Bach fugues, but you'll be able to if you want to.
"Finally… a music theory book that’s enjoyable to read!
Who knew music theory could be this much fun?
What was a distinctly dull and dry subject in college comes alive in this book with clear explanations, humor and real world examples.
This book will be useful for the beginning musician and veteran alike.
It can be used as a reference book, instructional aide
and/or lesson planner.
If music theory is the written language of music, this book is the Rosetta Stone."
Plus, there’s a Garage Band Theory YouTube channel (more than 400 videos—every song in the book).

Gregory Young - Director, School of Music - Montana State University
This book lifts the lid off the “black box” of music theory and lets the light shine in and in a fun, practical way.
For less than the price of a single lesson, GBT offers a lifetime of learning.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Alasdair Fraser - Scotland's Premier Fiddle Ambassador
Whether you're a beginner, a professional, studying on your own or with a teacher GBT has loads of useful stuff for you.
There’s examples from all genres - folk, classical, jazz, bluegrass & traditional so you can see how the concepts apply to everything.
The chapter quizzes and an answer key guarantee a clear understanding of the ideas and vocabulary, instilling confidence in the progress being made.
With GBT examples + free software you can develop basic, useful reading skills without having to play an instrument.
GBT Big Bundle delivers hundreds of tabs for banjo, bass, guitar, mandolin, ukulele and standard notation for keyboards and transposing instruments. There are hundreds of exercises and examples using familiar songs,
and with the free downloads you can watch and hear the notes play at any speed you choose.
Playing written music can be difficult - I'm not good at it.
But it's not real hard to understand what's on a page of written music and that can be really useful and worth the effort.
