I quite liked this site when I came across it a while back.

Nothing spectacular on there, but for a beginner (or someone wanting to do some revision) its pretty good.

OK, so the name might put a few people off, but I think this gives quite a good intro to the real basics of theory and is reasonably practical too

I've found the few lessons that are there to be great and unbiased giving a balanced opinion on different techniques. Also has good general tips as well.

Oh... and www.tunemybass.com which was handy just a second ago in case you practise hooked up to your PC like I am now.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='5161' date='May 23 2007, 02:36 PM']Marc Sabatella's Outside Shore Jazz Primer should go in there too...

As should Jamey Aebersold's Jazz Handbook (also free)

Wooooooooah that looks like a pair of goldmines of info! Thanks for that!

www.emusictheory.com has a load of exercises for ear training and reading.
www.realbook.us has a whole shedload of chord charts for jazz standards. You have to register but its free and easy, and I haven't gotten any spam from them.

I can't find a HC page I used to use. I remember it mentioning boxes, and just general info on composition and getting by on a little more that r5.
