Let’s face it: music theory doesn’t have the most rock ‘n’ roll of reputations. If it were in a band, it’d be the one who goes straight home after the gig and gets tucked up in bed with a good book rather than spending the night on the town then coming back to the hotel and throwing the TV out of the window.
But the irony is that, the more you know about this potentially fuddy-duddyish set of rules, the more you’ll improve your playing, songwriting, and production skills. And, thanks to Theory for Rock & Pop Musicians, Volumes 1 & 2, there’s a practical way of reaping the benefits without having to spend hours thumbing through the pages of a dry, academic textbook.
