Chords & Voicings
Complex chords and rich progressions are hallmarks of jazz. This group of courses teaches you everything from basic chord types and simple progressions to advanced one and two-hand voicing techniques and beyond.
The sixty chord drill streamlines the process of learning the chords by starting with the first, third, fifth and seventh notes of the major scale and then adjusting these notes by half step to form the remaining chord types through all twelve keys. In addition, you will learn how to read chord symbols and learn the chord changes to "It's Easy to Remember."
