Hey there Lachlan! First of all, I really want to say how happy I am to see that you’re continuing with guitar. I know you’ve had some ups and downs and one of your more recent posts made me fear you were down for good. I knew you’d get inspired again!
I’m going to tell you something in all acts of love.
If you’re wanting to learn ADVANCED music theory, it’s best to start with BASICS first. I really want to see you posting more videos of yourself playing and you describing what you’re doing so we can really truly guide you in the right direction. Advanced music theory, I consider to be stuff that Rick Beato and Papa Gates talk about. It’s very complicated stuff.
So here’s what I’ll give you a check list first to see where you’re at
1. Can you name your musical rhythm notation?
2. Do you know your notes on both the treble clef and the bass clef?
3. Do you know why different time signatures are labeled what they are?
4. Do you know your circle of 5ths?
5. Do you know your circle of 4ths?
6. Do you know how the basic major scale functions with its intervals?
7. Do you know the difference between a dominant 7th and a major 7th?
8. Do you know the intervals for a natural minor scale?
9. Do you know your key signatures for both major and minor keys?
10. Do you know your basic chord progressions for jazz and blues?
If you can answer YES to all of these, you’re definitely ready to move on to the next level! Let me know what one of these you don’t know (or are unsure of) and I’ll help steer you in the right direction!
