Learn and Apply Music Theory for Guitarists - The Circle of Fifths for Guitarists

Joseph does an excellent job of not only teaching u how to build the circle, he actually gives u real life examples of how to use it. Audio is great. This a neat tool every guitarist should have and use. It'll change the way u look at music.

Joseph Alexander has a gift for presenting guitar concepts in a clear, interesting way. I'm new to trying to understand music theory and I find this extremely helpful. Glad I purchased this ebook. Thank you Joseph Alexander!

Lots of books out there. I have several Joseph Alexander books and this one on the Circle of 5ths puts it right into perspective. It's cheap and thorough. I must have if the Circle of 5ths is still a mystery.

Very concise and informative. Just finished reading it through for the first time and it really clarifies the process of music structure. Now it's time to grab the guitar and go through it again and again.

This is an excellent book. As a trained musician who serves in Worship Bands, I often encounter guitarists with a lack of music theory understanding. This book is excellent remediation. I bought for our new worship leader and decided to,read it before giving it to him. A hidden bonus is found on page 53 where begins an excellent and useful discussion of key changes. Congratulations on writing a very useful and practical book.

Joseph writes all of his books in a clear, direct, and practical fashion. He tells you about whatever aspect of music that he is teaching, follows it with an example for you to practice, and backs all that up with down-loadable audio files that you can listen to to hear what you are supposed to sound like when you do the exercise. The Circle of Fifths is a critical musical concept for ALL musicians, and Joseph focuses in on the best way for guitarists to learn this concept.

Joseph Alexander is my first choice, always, in guitar technique authors.

This book was incredibly informative making me wish that i had found this resource earlier in my search for usable books concerning improvement in theory and technique. I highly recommend this book to students and professionals.

I love this book! Been a music/guitar amateur student for ages and there are some mysteries that I just memorized in the past; this book gave me so many "aha experiences"! Really insightful explanations, friendly tone. I bought two more by the same author, both kindle and paperback. I play classical and Spanish music mostly but still very useful to me in my studies.

Excellent !!! Opens the way for understanding and navigating the chord and solo landscape with logic, direction and organization. This book is written like a 'programmed text'. It starts from the beginning, and item by item, concept by concept, leads the reader to a understanding of the fundamentals and application of musical note, chord, and scale dynamics and interrelationship.
Finally! I can understand how song writers creatively and aesthetically craft a tune or song.
Highly recommended !!!

Jason Alexander did a fine job on the explanation of the Cycle of 5ths subject related to the guitar. Informative as with any of Mr. Alexander's books which I have purchase through the store. Highly recommended especially for the guitarist....a must buy.

I picked up “The Circle of Fifths for Guitarists” as soon as the store had it back in stock. I have a couple of other theory books mentioning the circle of fifths but no real depth. They cover how to use it in one or two examples then they move to the next concept. This book covers both sides of the circle sharps first then flats. He also covers how to find the relative minors and does an example. He doesn’t dwell on the minors but introduces them to you and how to derive the minor scales. Definitely a must have for those interested in music theory.
