Ok so here it is, i hate having to go around the net trying to find the "NEED TO KNOW" of guitar theory so I've started this to help not only myself but anyone else from beginner to advanced to find the essential music theory for practicing and learning how to play guitar.

this thread will encompass scales, chords, music pieces and other exercises.

(Please present all music/music theory in tablature)

A Stating point is some basic chords and scales.

and some basic chords



i also use theory books like "Guitar chords Progressive" "Guitar method Progressive books" and Hal Leonard "Incredible chord finder" Theory books help allot as you don't have to print anything off and they contain allot of information but normally cost a bit to create a library and most are in musical theory and not tablature.

Please contribute to this thread and help create a Guitar Method Essentials Library.

i will be adding to this thread based upon how much it help people.
