The Rational Approach to Music Theory - Babak Eghbali - Bog

Are you trying to improve your music theory and harmonic ability? As you may have experienced, things can get really complicated as we try to get an in-depth understanding of this subject. Not being very confident about what we learn and how to put it to use effectively, can be quite frustrating. Has it ever crossed your mind that some piece of the puzzle might be missing?

However theorizing music based on one specific mode, has confused us and restrained our creativity; not to mention, does not really justify much of contemporary works. This guide helps anyone (beginner to advanced) get a solid grasp on the theory of sound through a new and categorical, yet simple paradigm; a modern point of view toward an ultimate harmonic freedom that works across different genres. In spite of what you may hear occasionally, rules do not tie you down; they can set you free... This is the color-printed eidtion.
