Guitar fret board diagrams as well as grand staff charts for pianists are included. These chord voicings can be used in any style and suggested listening examples are included to help you hear the application of these sounds to rock, metal, jazz, classical, country and blues idioms.
The BUNDLE includes the following books and videos
Information on the application of Pitch Class Set Theory to Traditional Harmony is found below:
“Applying 013 Chord Voicings” is a great course if you want an introduction to pitch class set improvisation and want to start with applying chord voicings derived for a pitch class set to common chord progressions. You don’t need to know all the theory behind pitch class sets you can just start applying a set of chord voicings to a common chord progression. Later if you want to learn all the other cool stuff you can do with pitch class sets you can get the “Sonic Resource Guide” and get a deep background.
“Applying 013 Chord Voicings” provides a student interested in 013 with 12 études one in each key that are seven pages in length. These études apply 013 voicings to the common chord progression II7, V7, I-7, VI7. It is often hard for a student to see how to apply 013 to common musical situations, but these études demonstrate good voice leading examples along with re-harmonization principles that create smooth movement with 013s. These études are meant for pianist and guitarists but could also be used by any instrumentalist to further their knowledge and application of pitch class sets to traditional harmonic situations. Many harmonic re-harmonizations are also employed in “Applying 013 Chord Voicings.” It is an excellent way to see the ins and outs of applying pitch class sets to traditional harmony.
For most students the hardest part of applying 013 chord voicings to real music is developing good voice leading and know where re-harmonization can facilitate that process. This course gives you plenty of examples of both voice leading and the use of re-harmonization.
“Applying 013 Chord Voicings” gives you 12 études, one in each key using the chord progression II7, V7, I-7, VI7. The études in this course use traditional chord progression which helps a student see multiple ways to voice 013 chord voicings in these situations.
“Applying 013 Chord Voicings” offers you many types of PDFs and MP3s to choose from depending on your instrument and application. There are files for pianist or guitarist, up or down an octave and with or without bass and cymbal accompaniment. Midi-files are included in you want to change the tempo of a étude.

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.
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:
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.
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.
