Advanced Scales & Harmony

The purpose of this eBook is to clarify and thereby simplify advanced music theory and to offer a comprehensive reference. Additionally, this eBook provides a route to greatly increased musical skills, for those who wish to invest the time. 


I’ve had various dealings with thousands of musicians. Some as students, some as peers, some as employers, and some were fans, etc. I can safely say that only a very small percentage of them had a good grasp of advanced music theory. 


However, many of these musicians were incredible artists who had very successful careers. So the question is: Is understanding advanced theory important? 


An analogy is driving a car. You don’t have to understand everything about how cars are built or how to repair them to successfully drive one. However, if you did study cars more in depth, your interaction with them would probably be enhanced. 


Additionally, if you have been exposed to any of this material before and have some misunderstandings, you will want to clear those up, because those questions can impede your music making. 


The data in this book applies to any musician at any level of expertise regardless of what instrument or style of music he/she plays. (Except drummers) This is invaluable as a reference book for private lessons or as a textbook for classroom study.
