Here's What Others Are Saying... Don, your books have gotten me further in music theory than any other book, software and video, and I have complete bookshelves just for these music media....You've given me a large appetite for learning music theory and different ways of learning that are so easy even my daughter of 11 can grasp the concepts.  Thanks again Don. ~~ Tom F. NJ, USA   The Mega Chops guide has been invaluable to me. I'm a big believer in the Hanon exercises for piano, and had never considered applying them to guitar. After playing for 20 years, this book quickly took my playing to another level technically. I use it on tour before every show...it's great for warming up when time is limited. Use a metronome and take it slowly at first, and you will get great results. ~ Rogers Stevens Blind Melon

"How to Totally Understand Guitar Theory Super-Fast!" 100% GUARANTEED RESULTS! "Whether you have little or absolutely no experience in music theory, I can show you the PROVEN way to quickly and easily MASTER the guitar theory you MUST KNOW." Absolute Essentials of Music Theory for Guitar Soft Cover Book $22.99 eBook $17     By Don J. MacLean Dear Fellow Guitarist: M usic theory is simply a way of classifying the techniques that have been used by musicians for hundreds of years. You Don’t Have to Do it On Your Own, You Can Learn from the Masters.  Here are just some of the benefits you'll get as you increase your understanding of music theory on the guitar:  Save countless hours of wasted practice time      Learn songs faster     Unlock the secrets of the fretboard     Learn chords and scales faster     Write your own great songs     Create those killer guitar solos you've always dreamed of     Easily learn songs by ear With All of These Amazing Benefits, Why Doesn't Every Guitarist Learn Music Theory?   Up until now, learning music theory could be very time consuming, boring, confusing and difficult.  Some books present music theory in an intimidating way and show you absolutely no application to the guitar.  It's no wonder that so many guitar players have tried to learn music theory only to quit out of sheer frustration.  There are lots of music theory books on the market today, but very few are written for the guitar player.  Those that are, either have far too little information to be of any real use for guitarists, or they get really bogged down on the nitty-gritty details.   Don, your books have gotten me further in music theory than any other book, software and video, and I have complete bookshelves just for these music media....You've given me a large appetite for learning music theory and different ways of learning that are so easy even my daughter of 11 can grasp the concepts.  Thanks again Don. ~~ Tom F. NJ, USA I'm glad to tell you that I can understand the contents in your music theory book.  It's really amazing how you could write such an easily understandable book.  It's much easier to understand than those books written in my own language here in Korea. Thank you very much for such brilliant books, Don. Best regards, ~~ Sunhong L., Korea A GUITARIST’S DREAM!!!! I've played guitar for about 4 years now, and I must say that I've always known that I should learn music theory, but have always had problems learning it. I own lots of music theory books, but I never could make my way through them. They were all very boring and didn't show what music theory actually means to me as guitarist. I was attracted to this book based on its title. I thought: "Could this finally be a music theory book that I could read all the way through, and learn how to use theory as a guitarist?" The book totally lived up to my expectations and went beyond. THIS BOOK IS AWESOME! I really enjoyed working my way through it, and yes I went through the whole book. The book is very well written, and really easy to understand. What I really like is the fact that it doesn't just talk about music theory, it actually shows you how to apply it. There are tons of examples with neck diagrams and tab, so it's easy to apply everything. And there is a quiz (with answers!) at the end of each chapter. If you are thinking that you really should learn some music theory, then this is totally the way to go. You won't be disappointed. ~~ jo_ster75, USA Fantastic Book!!! I haven't had time to go through the whole book yet, but here's what I can say... I now understand where all the notes on the fretboard are, and they are taught in such a way that it was easy to understand.  I can now put my fingers down anywhere on the guitar and know immediately what note I am playing.  I have learned the patterns to where all the different notes fall on each string, and it is not confusing at all.   Learning something as simple as that has helped me understand and make sense of things that were otherwise very confusing.  I also like the way that the scales have been explained.  Learning what the major and minor scales are and how to apply them has also helped tremendously.  This book has taken me to the next level in my ability to play the guitar.  The book is fantastic and I can't wait until I get more time to finish it off.  ~~ Jeff K., ON, Canada Fast shipping.

This is why I wrote the Absolute Essentials of Music Theory for Guitar.  My goal was to create a course that would:  Dramatically simplify the process of learning music theory.   Make it extremely practical for YOU the guitarist.   The Absolute Essentials of Music Theory for Guitar is the distillation of what I have taught guitar students just like you.  I got sick and tired of having to recommend that my students buy this textbook and that one, and that other one, and still have to give them a stack of handouts to show how to apply the concepts to the guitar.  I wanted to have one source that would give my students all the beginner and intermediate theory that they absolutely needed to know. I have taught music for 25 years, have taken years of private guitar lessons, earned my degree in music, authored more than 50 books and reference charts (just do a book search on Amazon.com with the keywords "Don J. MacLean" and you'll see some of my books, or visit www.agogic.biz), played with too many bands to remember, and taught numerous master classes and workshops.  I have always been fascinated by how we learn music, so I also completed a degree in psychology and did some graduate studies in neuroscience as well.  With all of this intensive studying and practicing, I have discovered some little known secrets that will save you massive amounts of time and give you results you never thought possible.   It really works!! super neato A++ ~~ woodycooks, LA, USA   Very clear and complete book, thanks! ~~ ulymunch, CA, USA   Mega Awesome Guitar Book!
