Book Reviews of Modern Chord Progressions
Book Review: A wealth of beautiful Voice-Leading Progressions from the master of guitar harmony
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is awesome... But it's only really useful in terms of serious long-term study. I'm an intermediate level guitarist, and it took me very long just to get the first couple of progressions on the first page mastered. Mr. Greene does not shy away from using difficult or akward voicings in his progressions..., but they are so well thought out in terms of the progressions that any easier voicings would totally ruin the nature of the progression. The voice leading is simply beautiful, and ted greene has a very nice, compact, visual way of displaying the progressions so that they take up very little space. Melody is emphasized in the progressions. Overall, they do not sound like something you would use as comping patterns, but more like something you would use if you were composing (spontaneously or written out) beautiful guitar music of the highest order.
No rhythms are provided in the book... it is all just chord diagrams one after the other.
I also need to emphasize the vast number of progressions that are in this book. It is truly a lot of bang for your buck, and i cannot imagine anyone ever being able to internalize all of these unless they spend a few years devoted to practicing these voice leading exercises.
This book stands head and shoulders above a lot of the music books today, because it has so much information in every page, and so much music in every progression. A typical hal leonard book presentation (with standard notation, and tablature written out) would allow about 1 fifth of the information in here into a book of 100 or so pages. I like these old-school style books, with just chord diagrams or just standard notation with fingerings. We should all be learning how to read. Man I hate tab..., space-consuming garbage IMO now.
