So the thing is this. I basicly go simply by what just sounds good and right. But I want to improve my music theory! So what i'm looking for is this:
I have a basic knowledge of piano, I know which notes are which, but beyond that, i'm lost. Same with guitar...anyway...I'm looking for either a book, web site, or if it requires lessons, ect...Just some guidence as to where to start on learning music theory.
Thanks!

"the contemporary keyboardist" by John Novello is another good book I hear.
"Improvising blues piano" by Tim Richards is also a very good book that gives great practical examples of harmony in practice on the keyboard.
"Arranging techniques for synthesists" by Eric Turkel is a good book on arranging which is an essential skill for the home recordist to have.

You must also grasp the theory of natural rythms
Strong - weak - less strong - and less weak. A bouncing ball decreases in height naturally.
Headrush stuff that's going to take another 8 years to sink in! You are welcome to ask me what the hell I'm talking about!
These natural rythms and harmonics, give you direction of how to program note, velocity and gate with meaning!
