hi Mudcatters,

i discovered Mudcat last weekend, and have been reading over lots of threads. i need to learn *basic* music theory. i sing, write songs and play simple chord progressions to accompany my singing. i know i need to learn to transpose also(even though i don't want to depend on a capo, unless i have to.)

what *exactly* do i need to learn in order to understand music theory and transposing. i want to avoid *wasting time* learning theory i won't really need. i will ignore any rude responses.

thanks,
Joy
