Hi everyone, I want to get a good music theory book and I'd like to get your opinion on the matter, so which book do u consider best?

I would have to imagine that any college Theory textbook would be decent. I don't know if they make a music theory for Dummies book, or I'd recommend that. Mine were decent, but I can't remember the name of mine right now. I think they were just called, Harmony and Advanced Harmony.

I just went out and bought a great theory book. "Berklee Practice Method Bass" has everything you need to get started with theory. It is just one book in a line of books for various instruments. It is also very oriented on the reader getting into a band.

Well all I can tell you is that when I took Music Theory (college class..I'm a freshman in high school) I failed it MAJORLY...

Check out the Dummy Series of books. They are a fun read and have great information in them. Are you just looking for a "Basic Theory" book or one geared for Bass Guitar? Bassbooks is a cool resource.
