Guitar Harmony and Theory
This book is a step-by-step guide to MI's well-known Harmony and Theory class. It includes complete lessons and analysis of: intervals, rhythms, scales, chords, key signatures; transposition, chord inversions, key centers; harmonizing the major and minor scales; and more!
I absolutely love this book. It covers essential music theory is a very short space in a well-organized manner. More importantly, it emphasizes the concepts that are most important to a musician who wants to develop their practical skills at chord substitution, improvisation, voicing chords, etc.
Although the topics in this book are covered in academic books on harmony, they aren't covered in such a powerful and concise way. Other books that targeted toward beginners don't have the same depth. However, if you are a beginner, this book will be useful to you now and down the road. Therefore, don't hesitate to buy it if you are just starting out.
I have been playing the piano and other instruments for over 25 years and played in a band for 11 of those years. I often look at this book for review purposes and it is one of the few harmony books I have kept on my bookshelf. Another good one is HARMONY by Walter Piston. However, this volume is an excellent textbook, not a concise presentation of the key essentials.
