Music Theory For Guitar and Bass

We have had the group up for a while but are only recently starting to post to it. This topic, like us, is a work in progress so check back regularly for new posts. I hope you enjoy this information and find it useful.

If you have questions feel free to ask. No one will blast you for asking. If you have input feel free to contribute. If you have another method of looking at a topic share it. People sharpen people as metal sharpens metal. Let us engage each other and learn from one another.

How to use this forum? When I take a break from playing or something else prevents me from playing my instrument I either study songs, listen to songs, deal with band business, or study music theory. Have you ever heard of the term "Immersion"?

Immersed - involve oneself deeply in a particular activity or interest

•deep mental involvement: "his immersion in music"

•a method of teaching a foreign language by the exclusive use of that language, usually at a special school

When I studied foreign languages I immersed my self in them, in that country, and I was surrounded or immersed in them at all times. What is music theory? The Language of Music.

If you want to become good at something as quickly as you can then immerse yourself in that activity as much as possible.
