Music Theory, Part Two: Beyond the Key

The sequel to Music Theory for Guitarists, for players who can find a key and number its chords and now keep meeting chords that are not in it. Nine lessons on seventh chords, inversions and slash chords, the modes explained in a way that is actually usable, why the blues breaks the rules, secondary dominants, borrowed chords, cadences and modulation — every idea checked against real progressions from the track catalogue.
