Yikes Music Theory!
And now for the 800lb gorilla in the room. How are your music theory skills? If your response is “Gee, it’s OK give me a minute and I can figure out what notes are in a chord.” “Give me a few more minutes and I’ll find some type of chord voicing on the guitar that probably works. Is that good enough?” Honestly, no it is not.

Review Two of Chord Workbook for Guitar Volume One
-
- I own a large library of chord books. Chord Workbook is the only one I use. It has so much more information than most books and is better organized. Typically you get a book with a plethora of chords but no chord progressions to apply the structures nor any information on how to use the chords. Chord Workbook really is a manual for any musician seeking the knowledge that you will only find if you go to college for contemporary music studies and then it probably won’t be presented so logically. I teach my beginning students out of Chord Workbook For Guitar Volume One and my advanced jazz students. It’s really that flexible. I strongly recommend Chord Workbook For Guitar Volume One for anyone who wants to the know the secrets behind great chord playing. F. Frankel
Review Three of Chord Workbook for Guitar Volume One
-
- I’ve studied privately with Bruce Arnold for a few years. Chord Workbook was one of the books we used to learn chords in conjunction with a MP3 download available on the muse-eek.com site that Bruce recommended. With this massive quantity of MP3s Bruce plays the chord progression for a chorus while I improvise and then I play the chord progression with only a metronome click. It’s like playing a duet with someone and at the same time teaching you to feel the form. The combination of Chord Workbook For Guitar Volume One and those MP3s changed me from someone who knew some chords to someone who could play with anyone now matter what their level. This also helped me developed an innate sense of a 12 form which shows up so often in modern music. Bruce also tortured me with reading all chord progression by just looking at the notes rather than the chord voicings. While this was extremely hard it did give me an advanced knowledge of not only the chords the but the guitar fret board. If you are looking to become a professional guitarist Chord Workbook For Guitar Volume One is a must own. A. Cohn
