I have no ties to this website, other than believing it's pretty helpful. Actually, it's really cool how much music theory this site can break down to a minimum of words. Believe me, I'm a slow learner. I just thought maybe somebody else here could use this site as much as me.
Please feel welcomed to post any more urls of other such sites within this thread.

The site seems to contain a lot of valuable and understandable music theory. But all those ads were very annoying.

music theory is great and I have studied it a lot but a lot of ideas are only fitting for certain genres There might be completely different ideas to achieve a result . The basics passed down for several generations are to be trusted and studied for sure. But the interactions of clusters of notes thrown at each other has as many variables as the numbers in a phone book.
So simple explanations of how a chord is formed does not explain why a certain inversion or derivative was so much more fitting to the mood it caused.
Sometimes I will get someone's literature or tutorial and soon realize they are wrong then again I might realize, boy does this person have an ear.

Gosh, Im still learning about chord inversions. On a musical scale I can see exactly the inversion of notes. But it's more difficult for me to transpose such chord inversions via the banjo fretboard.
I have played a banjo for most of my life, but I never completly understood music theroy. I have much to learn with chords and scales. Thank God for the internet.
