Book Reviews of Modern Chord Progressions

Book Review: MUST HAVE for guitarists!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a staggering book, let me say. I've had it for a long time, and worked through it more than once, and I come back to it for fun and inspiration, as well as using it with students.

The meat and potatoes of this book is that Ted Greene (an absolute legend of guitar harmony) has taken a series of chord progressions (among them I vi ii V, III7 VI7 II7 V7, and others) and then written out hundreds (hundreds!) of great voicings that go through that progression. You'll get all the inversions, and how they lead into great dominant chords.. but more often than not, it's up to you to provide the I chord. (which makes for a great challenge, and you're more than up for it after going through his progressions!) You'll see a variety of colorful dominant 7 chords (covering just about every sound the various extensions can give you), especially during the last section!
There's also a great teaser section about bass note progressions (and a hint of a future book.. maybe its out there somewhere?), and each section is preceded by a few words from Ted about what is to come, and encouraging the player to remain patient..!

If you want a sample, go to the Ted Green tribute/homepage and check out the lessons section. But really, this is an absolutely essential book, and just about every jazz guitarist on the planet has worked through it at some point or another.
