muse eek publishing, 1996. Spiral-bound. Very Good. From the Author Chord Workbook for Guitar Volume One can benefit a beginner, intermediate o r advanced student. For the beginning guitarist the Chord Workbook for Guitar will help them to understand the basic building blocks of music i.e. music theory, and their direct application on their instrument. The student is not just learning f ingering patterns, they are applying chords to songs and experiencing how t hey sound in a musical situation. The theory section is written in a style that anyone can understand. This gets the student off on the right foot to absorb what they are doing when they play chords or music in general. Stude nts find the method I use to help them learn and remember chord forms is ha rd for a couple of weeks but eventually it really pays off; they find that they are able to remember large numbers of chords and know their exact name s. My method involves two stages: learning where the root notes of each cho rd are on the guitar and then applying these chords to common song forms to hear the chords in a musical situation. These common song forms include th e Blues, Minor Blues and Rhythm Changes. The Blues, Minor Blues and Rhythm Changes forms are also explained in another theory section so that the stud ent understands what the component structures of these important contempora ry music forms are. The intermediate guitarist is usually a student who has holes in their know ledge of theory- they are familiar with a number of forms and progressions, but may not understand the underlying structures. This book contains the i nformation the student needs to analyze and create progressions. The advanced guitarist.
