Book Reviews of Chord Chemistry
Book Review: Beginners Bible for sure, good for more advanced players too
Summary: 5 Stars
If you know someone who has started to play the guitar get them this book. Doubly if they have any interest in jazz, since that is where things head.
The first chapter of the book deals with all of the triad voicings possible, major and minor-- from power chords to very open three note chords. There is a logic to the order and that is no small claim, since there is a TON of material here. It then moves into 7th chords, with the same approach-- list every available voicing for each kind of chord. Maj7, min7, dom7, all extensions (individually and combined), diminished... you get the point. The next half of the book deals with applications-- some chord progressions, some substitution ideas, chord melody concepts, all clearly explained with lots of examples to make sure you understand.
I never got to take a lesson with Ted, but I imagine that this book is not too far off from the wealth of information he would have shared. It builds from the beginning of the book in a logical and musical way, and you can come back to it for years and years and it never gets old.
Most highly recommended.
