 Rating:  - Finally Got ItThis book is as good as Rikky Rooksby's best book: The Songwriting Sourcebook. Actually, I take that back, it's BETTER. I learned about secondary dominants, secondary subdominants, writing in minor keys, and borrowed chords, which Rikky Rooksby's book doesn't cover quite as well. Do yourself a favor and read this book...TWICE. Rating:  - Needs a CD and either Tabs or Guitar Pro FilesI own the first edition. I just started this book for the 4th time after I finished an intermediate theory book. My reading is slow but I am patient and get the job done.

Not only does he cover all the material in a way that isn't boring, he adds even more interest with examples from familiar music. After borrowing a copy from my local library I decided it was essential and bought my own copy. Rating: - The best book I have read on music!My teacher at the school of music told me she was going to make little BAchs out of us! Well, we did all the harmony theory...wrote chorals and when I graduated I went on to compose POP!! Haha what a laugh that was! Little bachs going for pop! Buddy you have no idea!!! This author is amazing. He tells you all the tools and secrets right down to the detail of how to compose POP music.
