 |
|
My guide to music theory's been updated after more than a year to version 0.4.2 - now with double the amount of chords including the full suite of sevenths and ninths with comments on each and revised diagrams, a new section on cadences, a bibliography, and material added on arranging and structure.

EDIT: Now it's up to 0.5.1

The diagram for 3.3.1.10 isn't correct (you put Gb instead of G).
(wow, that's great work overall)

hey kwooky.. excellent. again. small suggestion? on the areas regarding the construction of scales, like the majors, etc:
| Quote: | So every major scale has that pattern of whole tones and semitones to it: two whole tones, a
semitone, three whole tones, a semitone and you’re back to the same note you started on. That’s what
makes them major scales. By starting at different notes like D or F# and rising up the scale with the
same pattern you can derive any major scale you need. |
This might be a bit more clear w/ the graphics if you described it using 'steps' instead of 'tones' and instead explained whole/half steps. of course keep the whole/semi explaination too tho.
for example, if you look at the D major scale and use that description while looking at it (the reference picture) it could be a bit confusing to some as it appears when counting the 'tones' that it doesnt add up unless u ignore the root. if you look at it via steps then it makes some more sense (D - E = 1 whole step, E - F# = 2nd whole step, if you look at it in tones I can see some ppl going "wtf? why not F?, it's a semi tone from E??").
anyways, i hate to make any suggestions really because this is a such a great tutorial you've written for people. i know if i had no understanding of any theory whatsoever that I would absolutely praise your efforts as something on the spiritual level 
Even with what I do know, your descriptions of chording and progressions is extremely valuable and written in that "certain air" that makes it so much easier to further beat into memory.
k-bird = 10/10 on the mute-o-meter.
