Music Theory Books

[Under Burning Stars]

Hello,

I've been playing guitar and piano for many many years, but have never learnt any theory at all.

I want to start learning, can anyone recommend any decent books to get me going?

I'd appreciate any help!

Cheers,
J :)

I'm looking into this too, I'll let you know when I find out. I think there are books done by the people who do the theory exams which would probably be worth looking into.

I think you two should study musical theory together...
I started swotting for my Grade 5 theory many many years ago but it was so boring I've forgotten it all, which is sort of annoying now.

I meant to wink there.

The girl i'm trying not to fall in love with at work inspired it cause she is studying for her theory 5, and i thought to myself, i could really develop my musical skills if i tried somethign totally new. :yes:
