Ok so I'm starting to get more into the details of music. Can anyone offer up some good websites or books on music theory?
Anyone have personal experience and developements that came from reading such material?
Cool, thanks/

as far as online i don't think you would find much. i don't know of any certain book companies, but i would try your local community college book store or possibly a university book store if you can.

Cool, yeah I live near Berklee College of Music, but I thought I'd ask for any personal solutions here, before I ventured into the city of Boston and dodging the many (pot) holes on my way.

i'm just saying because the books i've used in school for music theory have been very good.
it's been a bit since i took the classes so i don't know if i'd be of much help :)

I don't really like how they call it "theory". What they teach is more of a convention than a theory. It has yet to be proven as fact? "music theory" is just a meme that caught on.

i am experimenting with a side parting at the moment for the first time since i was a kid. it's going ok so far.
olga is a (very good) guitar tablature site, but it also has links to some music-theory lessons that are applicable to all instruments.
some good stuff to learn (in order); i'm assuming you're totally ignorant on this stuff here:
the 12-tone system and the way the notes are laid out on a piano or keyboard,
scales (four good ones to learn to begin with: major, minor, pentatonic and diminished)
the cycle of fifths chord construction time sigs (3/4, 4/4, 7/4) modes polyrhythms
then again... i know lots about this stuff, but my music is still shit. so it's not the most important thing in the world, imo.
