Synopsis

As a keyboard player, even if you only ever play single-note solos, it is essential that you know your chords - they are the building blocks behind all musical compositions. All melodies have their roots in chords and chordal progressions. The main part of the book provides one chord per page for easy reference, and includes hundreds of chords suitable for many different styles of music. At the end of the book you'll find some first inversions of the basic major and minor triads. The keyboard diagrams will help you to learn the shapes of hundreds of chords, and will be a useful reference guide when you are playing and composing your own music. this is by no means a comprehensive manual, but should provide enough chord formations to keep even the most advanced musician busy!

Review

5.0 out of 5 stars | Easy Use Chords | By Roy Eldridge | I am self taught on music and I find this very helpful. It is a lot quicker to find the chords compared to my other chord lists. * Amazon * 5.0 out of 5 stars | Piano and Chords Books | By Mr G Honey | BRILLIANT little book showing you all the chords you would ever need! The left page shows you the left hand chord structure, and the right hand page shows you the right hand chord structure like fingering etc. A must for reference and ideal when you forget what a chord is made up of. Every music class should have one and I got it at a bargain price from amazon!! * Amazon * 5.0 out of 5 stars | This is just great... | By Wayno | For a budding piano great like myself this is an enormous help. Nice big diagrams and text, ring bound, fab. Have also ordered the guitar version as well, this book that good. * Amazon *
