Hooktheory II

Thank you for this great app, it has expanded my knowledge greatly as well as the musical confidence in myself. I have a clearer vision of what is possible to achieve in writing and producing music and can honestly recommend this to anyone interested.

I had previous gripes but they were fixed. This is awesome for anyone looking to get ahead quickly in understanding music making. They also addressed all my questions that i asked them directly.

Bought theory 1 a couple of years ago and loved it, recently bought Hooktheory 2 and it answered the exact questions I had about suspended chords. Using it on my latest track and getting the results I hoped for. Brings knowledge in a digestible fashion and the confidence to put theory into practice. Running an older iPad Air and it works perfectly.

Hooktheory delivered what it promised and more in a concise way that never drags. I think I discovered some new music in their well chosen examples. They use their own visual method to represent songs and it's simple whether you read music or not. I bought Hooktheory II right after finishing Hooktheory I. It covered more than I expected (on modes) and should be a great reference for a long time.

As a guitarist, want to learn more theory, this built perfectly on my foundation. I’m intermediate level and probably will stay there in this solidified. What I knew, and added to what I did not know. Also, I was able to refer to it while learning some songs to understand a bit more about the songs. I look forward to more great products.

Hooktheory 2 is a must read for aspiring music producers and composers. It teachers the fundamentals of 7th chords and secondary chords and how to use them in progressions to create more compelling sounds. Also I was fascinated with learning that you can use chords outside of the scale to truly improve basic chord progressions. I was blow away when I read how to connect baselines with inversions of basic and secondary chords. This app along with Hooktheory 1 has changed the game for aspiring music producers! I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to make music

Much music theory lacks context. You read it and can’t figure out how to apply it. Either that or you see applications to classical or jazz. The Hooktheory apps are fantastic in showing you how theory works in popular music and illustrates with actual songs. Brilliant! The only thing I’d like to see is a lot more on rhythm.

Amazing tool for students and professionals. Speaking from the perspective of a professional musician who perform high level work in the field.

I’ve been getting into song analysis as a means of becoming a better songwriter and wishing I had a resource that blends theory and practice. Hooktheory delivers all this and more. Love it!

I loved this book. I feel like I understand how to use chords now, and how to identify what techniques songwriters are using in the songs I learn. I recommend this and hooktheory 1 to anybody who wants a better knowledge of music theory that isn't so dry like a book.
