An Understandable Guide to Music Theory

"Chaz Bufe has designed a book that does exactly what the title claims it does. This is an excellent way for any musician to tie together any loose ends he or she might have regarding music theory. The language is very easy to understand and the text covers most of the important points about the subject. . . . An Understandable Guide to Music Theory is an excellent resource for any and all musicians who are insecure about their theory chops. It's extremely user friendly without being condescending to the reader. I highly recommend it." --Paul Evaskovich, Jazz Player

"This $9.95 Guide crams a remarkable amount of information into 74 pages." --Joe Gore, Guitar Player

"The title says it all: All you need to know are the notes of the staff. The author handles the rest." --Frets

"You don't have to understand theory to play music, but if you do, you will have a better handle on what you are doing. . . . An Understandable Guide to Music Theory is a good place to start. . . . It's cleanly laid out and easy to read. . . . Probably the first question anyone considering this book asks is: Will it make me play better? Anytime you get a better understanding of what you're trying to do, play blues or jazz, big band tunes or any other for that matter, you can't help but play better." --Phil Lloyd, American Harmonica
