Popular Music theory is much the same as "real" music theory - except it's way different! Pop theory is not a substitute for real theory, it is a speedy shorthand that draws on your knowledge of classic theory and allows you to move quickly in "by-ear" situations, rather than tediously notating everything on a staff. This book is perfect for people who play on worship teams and desire to understand how music is made and communicated in a pop/rock band setting.
