Brilliantly reveals how to use chords

It is a refreshing change to find a book that not only introduces you to lots of different chords, but more importantly how to use them. Jake has once again done a great job getting the material across in crystal clear fashion.

Just what I needed

I’m a music producer and like all music producer we’re self taught. I can’t read sheet music but having the audio examples the pop songs from YouTube is a plus. Highly recommend.

Very well written - absolute recommendation!

This course is a really great introduction into music theory and song writing. It's absolutely well written, simple to follow, easy to understand and very inspiring. It teaches you the basics of building and using chords in a very intuitive way, you can't really explain music theory much better. Worth every penny! Jake is a fantastic teacher and a wonderful creator. I'm happy to support his work!

Everything you need and more

From what I can tell a very detailed guide on how to use different chords and different arrangements in your music. Love how every statement is backed up by plenty of examples both from small self-made pieces, but also from known songs. There did seem to be some small errors in notation, with some flat signs having gone missing at times. Still, the go-to book for music theory!

Never thought I'd would enjoy reading about theory...but here I am

This proved to me that reading a theory book isn't boring, the teaching method is excellent!

Fun, relaxed, engaging

I've enjoyed Jake's straightforward and practical treatment of classical, rock, and jazz theory. There's so much in here, and so much more engaging than that dusty old music theory book on my shelf that I never quite felt like pushing through to the finish on. The focus on using theory for composition is also really encouraging.

Music Theory and Songwriting Course FAQs

Probably! Only about 15% of this course is dedicated to the guitar, while the remaining concepts are taught in a way that can easily be applied to any other instrument. However, since all the theory taught is viewed through the lens of the guitar, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you own a guitar before pursuing this course to finish.
This is not a course on guitar playing or technique, but on theory and songwriting. The only skills you are expected to know is how to read guitar tablature, and the absolute basics of guitar playing (how to fret a note, open chords, etc)
I can confidently say that this method of learning will be more effective and valuable for many types of students. Since there is no wasted time or filler, it is more time-efficient than real life lessons where the teacher or student can get distracted. The printable materials are of a higher quality than most private lessons. And the ability to replay a lesson over and over is invaluable for students struggling to understand difficult topics.
Not quite- my YouTube channel explores more advanced topics without explaining the prerequisites. 95% of the content in this course is totally unique and unexplored on my channel, and is taught in a linear fashion as to make sure you’re totally competent by the end. There are only two lessons that include cross over with my YouTube channel. However, after some lessons, Design and Develop by Inbox Technologyyou are directed to specific YouTube videos I’ve produced to help expand on your understanding of the previous topics and to help weave my channel in with the course.
Nope! Once purchased you’ll have access for life, including any additional lessons or worksheets that get added in over time.
Currently, no. But I am working on getting a physical version of the course made instead of digital-only. Stay tuned!
