As you can see above the études are written in conventional staff notation. Both with one staff and a grand staff. For guitarists chord diagrams are also include. Keep in mind that in some cases octaves have been changed in the various files that
are available in this course to make an étude more playable on the guitar. A version with no alteration has also been included.

These études could be used with an ensemble, solo piano or guitar performance. Some sections of these études may be better used in one or the other depending upon their range. If voicings go to low in register they can conflict with a bass players
range so keep this in mind as you work through the course.

Applying 013 Chord Voicings Effectively

Learning to effectively apply chord voicings based on 013 is quite challenging for most students. There are many factors at work that make this difficult:

• Chord Voicings are not tertial structures.
• 013 can represent any chord type, which is an unique characteristic.
• They use tension combinations that are not usual in traditional harmony.
• For guitarists,some voicings require a very large finger spread.
• It can be hard to hear a whole progression where all chords are 013.

Because the application of 013 in jazz, rock and blues is so recent, there also isn’t a lot of music available to help you acclimate to the 013 sound. Consequently many students only dabble with the concept and then move This is unfortunate because
the 013 sound isn’t particularly dissonant in many applications, and if voicings are properly placed on the guitar frettboard, many of the larger stretches can be avoided.

All of These Issues Were Taken in Account with the “Applying 013 Chord Voicings” Course

These études will really help you to see the application of 013 pitch class set to a traditional harmonic situation. If you are a guitarist with limited sight reading skills you will be right at home because chord diagrams are given for each chord
voicing. Get started today with modernizing your chord playing and learning some new sounds.
