Publisher Description
Continue on your musical journey! Build on the foundation you learned in Hooktheory I, and discover an intuitive and deep understanding of richer, more sophisticated music. Unlock the songwriting tactics used by The Beatles, Bowie, Queen, Michael Jackson, and more. Learn about seventh chords, embellishments, secondary chords, minor harmony, modes, and modal mixture. Validated by over 30,000 hobby and pro musicians like you, the Hooktheory Book Series is the best-selling how-to series for musicians for a reason.
Hooktheory II isn’t like other music theory books.
Hooktheory teaches with an easy-to-understand music format that emphasizes chord and melody function. Rich audiovisual animations play along as you learn. We dissect popular songs and show you how the pros do it. Immediately practice concepts and tactics with our companion musical sketchpad, Hookpad. There is nothing else like it!
Fun to read. Easy to understand. Full of practical knowledge.
Learn from 84 interactive exercises and 228 audiovisual examples from artists like The Beatles, Elton John, Queen, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Coldplay, Van Morrison, Adele, Ariana Grande, John Mayer, and many more!
In Hooktheory II, you’ll learn the following skills:
. Composing chords and melody in minor (and other scales).
. Using chord inversions (reordering chord tones) to create effective bass lines.
. Using complex chord types (e.g. 7th chords, extended chords, suspended chords, and “add” chords) to enrich your chord progressions.
. Using secondary chords (chords based on a different key) to create tension.
. Combining melody and chords from multiple scales (modal mixture).
. Utilizing songwriting techniques like energy control, deception, and harmonic scope to control listeners' expectations.
Benefits:
. Simple piano roll notation (sheet music knowledge not required).
. Every concept + technique demonstrated through an actual song.
. 228 audiovisual examples from artists like The Beatles, Elton John, and Queen.
. Reinforce learning at every step with 83 exercises.
. Designed to be used with Hookpad Music Making Software. Hookpad lets you immediately practice every concept and tactic you learn in the books.
To sum it up:
Hooktheory II will teach you all of the essential techniques for crafting effective and compelling chord progressions and melodies. Reading Hooktheory II doesn’t require the ability to read sheet music or any music knowledge outside what was covered in Hooktheory I. On average, it takes about twelve hours to read (but more to fully absorb) so it isn't a huge time commitment. Dedicate only a few days to absorbing this book and gain a lifetime of skills that will give your music that professional edge.
