• Understanding the six basic chords that underlie all great chord progressions.
• Writing chord progressions based on function (understanding which chords go together and which ones don’t)
• Making melodies “chord aware” - learn why certain melodies sound good with a chord progression and why others don't
• Controlling the natural tension and release in melodies over a chord progression
Benefits:

Ratings and Reviews
Nice, but missing key features from the website
Would love if the song database was available within the app instead of having to redirect to the browser. Simple web view inside the app with a search bar would do
The future of didactic books!
This was extremely well thought out. Not only from the information presented, but how it is presented. Small amounts of information just enough to digest then review.
The format is excellent, the color coding, interaction etc.
Highly recommend. I’ll be going over this a few times and then moving on to book 2.
Nice book but some audio issue
The audio works fine when first being played. But there’s no sound comes out if wait for some time and play again. I have to restart the app to get the sound to work.
