Don't take my word for it- here is a Forward to "Music Theory In Plain English", written by Austin Davis (banjo player, Josh Abbott Band):

THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY BOOK ON MUSIC 
THEORY THAT YOU’VE EVER READ.
 
Just wanted to get that out of the 
way. I can say that with absolute 
confidence because, if you’re like 
me, you’ve already gone through 
multiple books on theory that didn’t
have anywhere near the effect that 
you thought they would on you 
musically and that’s why you got this
one. If you haven’t done that, then…
well obviously this is better than 
anything else you’ve read. 
 
Music theory can be very intimidating,
and it almost always is when 
published. Every time I’ve gone 
through a book (or gotten a little 
bit in and given up), I always think 
to myself, “Man, there’s SO much I 
don’t know.” This book was so 
refreshing because Kris’s goal was to 
actually TEACH music theory. It’s not 
pretentious, it’s not intimidating, it 
is encouraging. So many times I read 
over something, looked up of the pages 
and thought, “Holy #?*! that’s what 
that is!!” 
 
Music theory does not have to be 
difficult to learn and this book is 
absoluteproof of that. Kris has such 
an amazing way of explaining things 
without overloading you with a lot 
of useless information. Trust me, I 
play banjo and so if I can learn 
from this book anyone can.
 
When I found out Kris was writing this
book I was ecstatic and was actually 
allowed to read the hand written rough 
draft (I’ve had it for months and I 
still use it on the road for 
reference). 
 
Now this book isn’t full of cheat 
codes, but it will show you everything 
you need to know in order to learn 
everything you want to know. I hope 
this book is as encouraging to you as 
it was and is to me. 
 
Enjoy!
