    About this ebook

    A short background, I am a person who has never been through formal music lessons before but still able to play the guitar decently as well as the piano. I have spent countless hours self-learnt music in an informal way through the internet and came up with this guide to ease people who wants to learn music. This is a short guide on basic concepts of music, mainly for those who has zero knowledge on music or for those who has just started in the music journey. If you are already in the journey of music for quite some time, it might be not suitable for you, but you can always treat this guide as a reference. In this guide, there will be no note reading, but numbers will be used as easy reference and learning. It has been made as easy as possible to learn. So, have fun learning and playing music with this guide
