A Nuts and Bolts Approach to Chords

taught by Rolly Brown

Life is short! Music is important! Dont procrastinate about something you actually want to do! Go to guitar camp for a week. Go to jams and festivals! Music enriches your life! Do what you love! Youll be happier and healthier. Youll meet some wonderful people, one of whom may be yourself. Rolly Brown This lesson is designed to set you on the road to playing chordal swing and jazz guitar with the freedom of an accomplished improvisor. It can help you hold a large repertoire of chords in your head, without recourse to chord dictionaries or other written material, and to then learn how these chords go together into sequences commonly found in swing and jazz standards and other music of the past century and beyond.
Material covered includes:
The simple 240 chord exercise: 3 minutes a day to develop a great chord repertoire.
The five string-sets for 4 note chord voicings.
The 3 basic chord families; how they work with each other, and how the art of chord substitution provides an infinite amount of variability.
The 3 most common systems of chord progression and their variations.
