I'm always on this site, about to pick which forum to dive into, and I always stare at "Music Theory" for a second. The reason? I don't understand what it is! I've had it explained to me from a music instructor (no help - he used crazy examples that made no sense whatsoever), my mother (no help - she just rambles on and on and on about what she thinks she knows), and a friend (no help - after everything he said that seemed to make sense, he told me he was just kidding and had no idea). So, I have a simple question: what is music theory? I need a simple answer. Maybe then I can post in this forum  |

Music theory is the theory behind music, duh  So what is the theory behind music? Well thats a question not easily answered. Its like asking a painter how he paints. He can tell you what colors, brushes, material and techniques he uses, but that still only explains half of it. Same goes for music theory. I can explain to you why C, F and G go well together or how to use alternate picking on a guitar, but that would never make you a musician. What this theory is trying to explain is what the rules are to music, and also how you can break these rules, or at least bend em. Get it? |

thanks! that makes more sense! I already know about why certain notes fit together and blah, blah, blah. But other than that, that's all I knew. lol - I've said this to Ant I believe, but I always make myself look stupid, don't I??? Thanks again! |

Mes, I've been away for a while and now catching up, with the little time I have spare. Check out my youtube videos starting from lesson 1 to see if they help. They're a bit boring but take a peak anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBBm1OTwm0s Your other replies were great. Tony |
