How to start learning music theory

Post by Robguitaruk »

I am really interested in learning about music theory as I think it would help me with composing and breaking away from boring chord progressions.

However, it seems like such a minefield and I have no idea where to even begin to get started.

Can anyone offer any advice on where I should or could begin without getting overloaded?

Don’t binge-watch advanced jazz reharmonization videos too early.
That’s where overload happens. LOL
