Guitar Theory 101

If you’ve ever thought, “I should probably learn some music theory…” but didn’t know where to start — this book is for you.

Guitar Theory 101: A Simple Start to Music Theory for Guitarists is a clear and down-to-earth guide to help you understand the basics of how music works on the guitar. It’s not advanced. It’s not fancy. It’s simply a first step toward making more sense of what you’re playing.

You’ll learn:

• What scales and intervals actually are
• How chords are built — and how to build your own
• How keys and chord progressions work
• How theory helps with songwriting, worship leading, and playing by ear
• Simple ways to practice theory without getting overwhelmed or bored

Each chapter ends with a short exercise so you can apply what you’re learning right away — no prior knowledge required.

Whether you’re new to guitar or have been playing for a while and just want to understand the “why” behind some of the notes, this book is a solid place to begin.
