Start learning Music from the beginning or fill in your personal knowledge gaps. Bob"s Book is Music Theory for the Real World – with special sections for Guitarists, Bassists, Drummers, Keyboard Players, Singers and Songwriters. To quote the author - “I wrote this book for one reason – to get people who would otherwise roll their eyes at music theory to roll up their sleeves instead. Some musicians, amateur and pro alike, just don’t want to know about theory. And to be honest, not absolutely everyone needs it. So why bother? The answer is simple – we are drawn to music because it is Magic and Mystery. And as musical magicians, the more knowledge we possess, the deeper our bag of tricks, and the more profound the Mystery. So if you are intrigued by music and want to understand more about it, I wrote this book for you. It will unveil the tools and the concepts used to make music – all styles of music – and will take you from the beginning stages to advanced in a step-by-step approach. And it’s squarely aimed at the non-classical musician.” In addition to offering highly useful information, “Bob’ Book” provides glimpses into the life of a working musician with amusing and entertaining anecdotes from Robert Walsh’s extensive career as a musician, songwriter and producer.
