Our Verdict
Henry Olsen's Learn Basic Music Theory for Guitar and Master the Fretboard With Ease! offers an organized, well-rounded approach to understanding the guitar fretboard. While it provides invaluable information for those seeking a deeper understanding of music theory, it requires learners to possess some foundational knowledge and skill on the instrument. Although lacking supplementary materials like exercises or backing tracks—which would have improved the learning experience—Olsen's clear communication style makes this course an excellent starting point for aspiring guitarists looking to enhance their theoretical understanding.
