Reseña del editor

This book leads readers in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand way through the basics of musical intervals, scales, triads, more complex chord voicings, and the kinds of chord progressions used in thousands of well-known songs. While firmly grounded in traditional music theory, it addresses the needs and interests of readers who are more comfortable with pop music. Unlike some "chord and scale encyclopedia" books published for guitarists and jazz players, which give you hundreds of scales and licks without explaining where they come from, Chords andHarmony "opens up the box" to explain why some chords and scales work well together while others clash.
