Classical musicians can't even feel rhythm.

>>9456331
That's basically playing and singing at the piano.

has anyone read Tonal Harmony

>>9456798
Actually I just went and looked this up and it is much harder than I was thinking.

>>9456798
It's basically playing mentally a 3 parts fugue in abstruse tempos, while being barely able to play the piano, read the music or even sing it (those excercises come shockingly early in the book).

t. I've finished it 8 years ago, and it was pure nightmare

what was that old breakbeat song that was like "some dudes syncopates style!"

The Barry Harris harmonic method for guitar. This book helps teach you the Wes Montgomery/joe pass style of chord movement. Anything by Barry Harris is really absolutely brilliant.

What is the best book for a complete beginner to music theory? My primary goal is to be able to better appreciate classical music, and i'd like to be able to learn an instrument too.

The music came before the theory, firstly.

You either like it or you don't-- don't get hung up over it senpai.
