Learning Music Theory?

[🪦 Nosferatu ●]

Hey guys, I'm really into death, black, and slam metal and would like to learn how to read music and understand what I'm listening to (instrument wise) I mean obviously I know what the guitar, bass, and drums sound like but I want a more in depth understanding of whats being played, whats the best way to go about this? Are there any good sites that explain music theory, I tried google but it was pretty overwhelming. I'm not trying to learn how to play an istrument at this time, hope this makes sense, I know what breakdowns and blast beats are thats about it lol, I may have used the wrong term also by calling it music theory. Thanks in advance.I don't know if this helps but heres some bands I listen to regularlyDevourment, Putrid Pile, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Black Witchery, Sikfuk, Cock and Ball Torture, Vulvectomy, Digested Flesh, Vomit Remnants, etc.

I got pretty heavy into it and got to the point where I couldnt find what I wanted with websites. So I found a guitar guru who gave me weekly lessons on different things and I wrote everything down in an old note book. I still look back through it to refresh my memory. I use it for educational purposes only I dont follow it too much on purpose as Im one of those "if it sounds good, thats what I'll play" disregarding whether or not a certain note "fits". I would highly suggest www.cyberfret.com as they have a lot of really useful basic info there. Hope that helps.

You could always search Wikipedia to learn a lot about it (and just about everything else), but I would recommend taking a college course or more on the subject. Also, I doubt you're going to find anything interesting about death metal compared to all sorts of other types of music out there, as far as music theory is concerned...
