Description

This week’s episode is all about music theory. Today, we are looking at why music theory is important, why it is so useful, and why you should learn it.
 
There are plenty of benefits and practical advantages to learning some music theory. For example, it can save you tonnes of time and help you avoid certain mistakes. But perhaps most importantly, it offers a lot of clarity on the different elements that are so key to guitar playing.

Some guitar pros might say they never studied theory, but in the episode, I talk about why they might not be fully explaining one key thing. We’ll take a look at how music theory isn’t just theory, it’s practical. I also share some snippets of music, including some cool chord progressions and some advice on how theory can help you avoid creating awful sounds on your guitar.
 
This episode will help you gain clarity on how best to learn theory, how it can help you on your guitar-playing journey, and how it will make seeing and achieving progress easier for you.
 
Don’t forget, you can get more tips, advice, and a powerful new free eBook on the 13 Ways to Escape the Acoustic Asylum from me, Dan Thorpe, by joining the email list here – https://acousticasylum.com/
