I just came across this book by DuQuette named 'Chicken Qabalah'. I won't go into the details but I will excerpt some texts from the book.
"These sages were full-time holy guys. They wrote this stuff for
other full-time holy guys, and the tiny segment of every generation
who would be equipped with the intelligence, the spiritual drive (and
leisure time) necessary to embark upon a lifelong quest for enlightenment.
I assure you, these ancient mystics would have produced a
radically different body of work had they in their wildest nightmares
imagined that in some future dark age their secret coded scriptures
would be seized by half-witted and sadistic European cannibals and
interpreted literally, like some grotesque and racist history book."
"Don't worry if none of this makes any sense to you right now.
It is enough to remember that Realization of One is the
second-to-last goal of all Qabalists. The final goal is
to attain the consciousness of Nothing.
-RABBI LAMED BEN CLIFFORD
Rabbi Ben Clifford claimed that in the winter of 1989 he made
a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where he climbed Mount Sinai
to, as he put it, "touch base and get further clarification" on several
matters pertaining to scripture. On the summit, the Supreme Deity
allegedly appeared to him in the form of a rotating tongue sandwich
that lectured Ben Clifford for about six minutes. To quote the Rabbi:
The Lord's lustrous lingua lashed from the luminous laser-like
lights that licked the length of the lush and lonely landscape.
Later, I laughed like a lunatic as I lay lifelessly limp and lingered
upon the lilt of the last littlest letter of the Laws and the
laudable lessons I so lately learned."

Re: Kabbalah for Chickens, Like Me
Don't let the funny words fool you. I have been reading the book and I find it to be an excellent resource for newbies to learn the practical basics of the Kabbalah. The writer presents his information in a simplistic and humorous manner. I have tried reading 'The Sepher Yetzirah' and explanatory books on 'The Zohar', and they left me feeling like an idiot. But this book turned out to be a blessing for me.

Does it talk about the musical side of the tree?
Re: Kabbalah for Chickens, Like Me
I haven't finished the entire book. For your sake I did a search and found this. It is the only thing I found relevant to your case-RockDemon wrote:Does it talk about the musical side of the tree?
"LBC: Just pretend the Deity is comprised of four incredibly gigantic
tuning forks that are vibrating four musical notes in a descending
scale. (Remember these are vibrations of consciousness, not sound.)
Now pretend your soul is comprised of four tiny tuning fork tuned to
the same four notes. Even though our tuning forks are infinitely smaller
they are still set into motion by the vibrations of the Deity's tuning
forks, and vibrate in perfect tandem with them. Do you follow me?"
