Music theory made simple
Learn music theory from scratch or fill in the gaps
You want to learn theory, but:
You don’t know where to start
Nothing really sticks or makes a lot of sense
It’s hard to see how all the puzzle pieces fit together
It can be overwhelming to learn music theory.
Many people give up after wasting hours watching confusing YouTube videos or reading boring books and articles.
And that’s a shame, because music theory shouldn’t get in the way of reaching your full musical potential.
Fortunately, music theory doesn’t have to be complicated.
With the right approach, theory can be easy to understand, easy to remember and super useful in day-to-day playing.
Introducing:
Music Theory from Scratch
A fun, practical and easy to understand music theory course for guitar players
So, what makes this course different?
Easy to understand
You’ll learn everything in simple animated explainer videos. They’re all short and sweet: you’ll learn one thing and then immediately practice it to make sure you truly understand how it works.
Made to Stick
The key to remembering something is to use it. That’s why this course is 10% explanation, 90% practice. Through play along videos and interactive quizzes, you’ll put everything you learn into practice and get feedback on how you’re doing.
Built for guitar players
For music theory to be useful in everyday playing, you need to understand how it works on your instrument. That’s why we’ll apply everything you learn to the fret board. This keeps things practical and makes everything much easier to understand.
Learn With Real Music
Music theory without music is just math. That’s why this course brings the theory to life with dozens of songs by artists you know and love. It’s how you’ll learn how music theory applies to music you listen to and play every day.
Never get stuck, never get lost
The course has been carefully designed to be easy to understand at each step. Of course, if you have any questions along the way, I’ll be right there to help you! Ask as many questions as you like.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Music Theory from Scratch?
Music Theory from Scratch is a fun and practical music theory course designed specifically for guitarists. Through short animated videos, interactive quizzes, and play-along exercises, you’ll learn theory in a way that’s easy to understand, easy to remember, and immediately useful for your playing.
What exactly will I learn in this course?
You’ll learn all the fundamental music theory that matters for guitar players: from intervals and scales to chord construction and progressions. Every concept is explained simply through animated videos, then immediately applied to the fretboard and practiced with real songs from artists you know and love. The course follows a 10% explanation, 90% practice approach to ensure everything actually sticks.
Do I need any prior music theory knowledge?
No! The course truly starts from scratch. As long as you’ve been playing guitar for a couple of months and know some basic chords, you’re ready to start. If you already know some theory, the course will fill in gaps and solidify things you “kind of know” into concepts you fully understand.
How long does it take to complete the course?
The course is structured as short, focused lessons you can work through at your own pace. The lessons are a combination of simple and quick animated videos, interactive fretboard exercises, and quizzes that apply what you learned to real songs. The course is ten sections and 130 lessons in total. So with daily practice sessions of about 20 minutes, you’d finish the course in a month. With less frequent sessions, there’s enough practice material and concepts to absorb for a few months.
How do I get access to this course?
This course is exclusively available to StringKick All Access members. When you join, you get instant access to Music Theory from Scratch and all other courses on the site. You can start learning right away.
Why is learning music theory important for guitarists?
Music theory transforms how you understand and play guitar. Instead of just memorizing patterns and shapes, you’ll understand WHY things work, making it easier to learn songs, write your own music, improvise, and communicate with other musicians. Theory gives you a roadmap to the fretboard and helps you see the connections between everything you play.
How is this course different from other music theory resources?
This course is built specifically for guitar players and applies everything directly to the fretboard. YouTube videos explain a lot, but don’t help you actually practice and master the material. Textbooks can be quite dry and theoretical (no pun intended), whereas this course has simple animated explainer videos followed by immediate hands-on practice with real music. This 10% explanation, 90% practice approach ensures concepts actually stick.
Can I do this on my phone, tablet, or laptop?
Yes, the course works on any device with a web browser. You can login to StringKick on any device you own and switch between them whenever you want. The videos, quizzes, and interactive exercises all work great on mobile, so you can learn wherever you are.
What if I don’t like the membership?
Simple: if you decide the membership is not for you, you’ll get a full refund within 30 days. No matter the reason.
