You know how everyone hates those people that invites themselves over? Well seems like I'm gona become one of them in a different sense

.

In the Jazz forum there is currently a wonderful thread on improvisation by jazz-player-collector. This has received much praise and love by many. So, much as how that is set up, I was wondering if anyone would want to start a music theory thread. I believe that an informative thread such as that could be beneficial to many. I would do it, but my knowledge is lacking hence why i want one created to learn

No problem.

Well I checked it out and it seems a bit lacking. Not many threads and posters. What I was really hoping to get started was a place where people could learn the basics and follow a path of music theory education not just a forum type setting where you can post questions or comments. Also is the site new?

Relatively new.

What theory stuff did you have in mind?

Hmm just everything people are willing to contribute. I'm sure it would be a saving grace for a true beginner to have a place of reference for meter, key signature, rhythm. I would be more than happy to start the basics if I get enough support, but as I do not know that much the idea would be for others to pick up and contribute. If all goes well I would plan on having everything from what a quarter note is to different chord progressions.

I guess you could get the Aebersold volume 3, the II-V7 book, and work out of that. Or you could start learning some standards and bebop heads and soloing over them, most of them are just a bunch of II-V's modulating around.
