Shred Tech. Volume Iv: How to Play & Understand Chords, Keys, and Chord Progressions: Every Chord Comes from 3 Basic Chord Shapes! Tim Scullion

Publisher Marketing: This is a guitar instruction book that is for the beginner to intermediate guitarist that not only shows you how to play chords, but also how chords are formed and named. But this is not just a chord book: It also explains music keys and chord progressions, showing how to play chord progressions that have been used successfully thousands of times in modern music. If you have ever seen a guitarist sit in with another group and play along flawlessly to a song that he or she has never heard before-it's because he or she understands how chords, keys, and chord progressions work together. Develop that ability by understanding where the song is going before it gets there. This book does something that other guitar methods do not: It encourages the use of online resources and current music to solidify learning. What could be more inspirational to a student's progress than playing music that he or she likes? Don't just learn how, but learn why! Don't just learn with old folk songs like other guitar methods, but learn with modern music-music that you love and that inspires you! This book also shows you how to play chords (including power chords) all over the neck of the guitar-not just on the first three frets. It shows how all chords come from just 3 basic chord shapes, and how you can morph these basic chord shapes into a number of different chords-all the chords you need to know to play today's music. This book has reference pages to help you find each of these chords on three different places on the guitar neck, as well as how to change the key of any song. For those who want to write music, this book is an indispensible tool to learning what chords to use for what keys, how to change keys in a song that you are writing, and examples of hit songs successfully using out-of-key chords to give your music a modern sound. Take your playing and song-writing ability to the next level! Contributor Bio:  Scullion, Tim Tim Scullion is a published author, a published photographer, and an accomplished musician.
