Product Description
In The Basics of Harmony eBook, we covered triads (3 notes chords) and diatonic chords (chords limited to one major or minor scale).
Now we will expand into 4 note chords and non-diatonic chords (chords not limited to one major or minor scale).
Additionally, we will revisit the Blues and I will teach you some other very important chord progressions and reveal more powerful secrets to becoming a great improviser.
The data in this book applies to any musician at any level of expertise regardless of what instrument or style of music he/she plays. This is invaluable as a reference book for private lessons or as a textbook for classroom study.

Reviews
“This is perhaps the most comprehensive and easily assimilated book on music theory that I have come across in my 30 years as a musician and vocalist. I especially like the way Bill incorporates visual images into the book, making understanding of concepts so much easier. I would recommend this to any musician - young or old - as a guide, a manual or just as a refreshing way to sharpen up one's basics in the area of music.” Raven Kane – composer and vocalist (has sung and/or performed with Cher, Dolly Parton, Eric Burdon, Leonard Cohen, Kenny Loggins, Aaron Neville, Ringo Starr, Diana Ross, Willie Nelson and Paul McCartney; was Neil Diamond's duet partner on his "Live Across America" tour; film credits as a vocalist include Disney’s Tigger and Aladdin, Mermaids, Days of Thunder, Land Before Time, Joe Versus the Volcano, Mindgames, Made in America, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, and Grace of my Heart)
