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!
