Guitar Theory Improvement

What's Hot

I’ve finally come to the conclusion my musical knowledge needs significant improvement.....I can play well enough and  muddle my way through some scales but my knowledge of  arpeggios, the circle of 5ths, etc all needs looking at and improving.

I do take regular lessons which cover both technique and theory, but I’d like to increase/ expand on the theory to increase my confidence.

I spend quite a bit of time travelling through airports for work, and thought maybe a few books / downloadable stuff  on guitar music theory might be a good way of spending that time, rather than reading trashy novels etc.....can anyone suggest any books / downloads that could help?

    These days, the Practical Theory part of Justin's site requires payment to access it, but it is decent and he is steadily expanding it.

    Check out the Guthrie Govan books. There's two of them and they are fantastic in my opinion.  Lots of ideas and examples from one of the good guys.
