I Want To Learn The Theory! Options

[maharzan]

Okay, I have done a little bit of search and found many info about music theory / scales /modes, etc. I really don't know much about it. Most of the threads include this whole theory that I am finding hard to understand. The names are all confusing as well.

Probably you have answered this a 1000th time but I would like to understand all the basics from scratch. I just want one little information at a time or something so I can grasp it well and keep it for lifetime. Perhaps this thread will also help beginners like me.

I want to learn the basic theory, know the scales modes properly so I can see the notes on the neck. I also want to switch between modes while composing solos so I don't have to stick to just one scale. I know this is going to take a very long time but I really want to do it now. I have been trying to do it on my own but I always have an excuse not to learn it or just get bored about it. I need guidance.

I don't know the proper method but I would like to begin with a C major (just focus on one key?). I know major scales / minor / pentatonic and some modes like lydian, mixolydian. But I can start again to know how they are constructed but can't switch between each one.

Where should I start? Just one lesson at a time is enough!

I really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
