Master Your Guitar: Accessible Music Theory for Measurable Progress!
Written by Amy Hite, Music Professor, MM Classical Guitar Performance.
"I have rarely had the good fortune to have in my hands a method of learning guitar that is clear, progressive, simple to approach, and that respects an extremely well-realized organization of learning progression such as the Music Theory for Guitar workbook series by Amy Hite. This is an excellent method, which enables both aspiring musicians and teachers who need a good teaching aid with progression."

'Music Theory for Guitar: Level One' is the first entry in a comprehensive series of music theory workbooks for guitarists in which Amy draws from her experience teaching the guitar and leading the Guitar Syllabus Committee with the Music Teachers' Association of California, where she built an extensive guitar curriculum from the ground-up that included eleven graded levels of music theory.
This series is comprehensive through all aspects of music theory, divided into three levels with an answer book. The workbooks begin at the most basic level and advance into college-level music theory. They are used by students, professionals, teachers, and music schools worldwide; and are practical for both self-study and guided music lessons with the help of a guitar teacher.
In 'Music Theory for Guitar: Level One', you'll begin by learning a wide range of subjects, including:
- Parts of the guitar

The workbooks are clean, perfectly graded, and easy to use for all ages. These guitar theory workbooks were needed in the world of guitar pedagogy and Amy did it. She wrote the perfect companion for guitar method books. Thank you Amy!"
