This book was a godsend - it was recommended by the Head of Music at a school to my daughter who could not get theory lessons at college.
She worked her way through to Grade 5 in a month and recently sat the exam.
Suitable for complete beginners or advanced students consolidating their knowledge, an excellent buy.

A good start for theory, worth the purchase price just for the chord progression chapter alone! Hey guitar kid! Buy this and write decent tunes! Unlock the mystery of "What chord do we go to next?"

I would not recommend this book to a complete beginner no matter what the title. I felt overwhelmed by it all but luckily only got it from the library. Instead I recommend 'The AB Guide To Music Theory' by Eric Taylor. I learnt more in 15 minutes that struggling with the idiots guide in a week.
