While I have been playing piano and guitar for awhile, my knowledge of theory is next to nothing. Where should I begin? _________________ Ebo is my daddy!

I would then learn chord construction (ie: a major triad is made of the 1st, 3rd and 5th scale steps in the major scale) Then if you are a guitar player, I would certainly being studying the first 7 modes of the major scale and the pentatonic scales. Hope this helps!
