Recommend Music Theory Book

I need something that teaches it from the ground up. I know how to find any note on the fretboard and a few things about scales and that's it. I need something that talks about key signatures, transposing, etc. Thanks!

No need to buy a book...just google around the net to find what you need about key signatures and transposing.

Here is a little something that should get you started.

Then Google specific questions. The articles at ibreathemusic are great, but, you need the basics down first to understand them.

Good luck.

This book is for guitar players, and it helped this ADD dyslexic:
