Customer Reviews

The best...
Barrett's practical and accessible books show how good he is as an instructor. I own his books on Music Theory and Guitar Fretboard and these are THE BEST that I have seen on music instruction... period. Difficult concepts are broken down into small steps and driven down using the workbook approach (i.e. written practice) with the answer key included. When I look for new stuff I check first to see if Barrett has written about it. I've also found books by Mark John Sternal to be very good.

I hope Barrett (and his publisher) continues to produce more advanced music instruction material, and arranges his books into a "recommended" program. The workbook format works great and can be complemented by cds, dvds, web instruction, computer music software (sonar, cubase?) etc.

Good music theory book
This is a great basic music theory book if you are teaching yourself. Everything is broken into smaller, more comprehensible pieces.
