Bruce Arnold

Harmonic Analysis is one of the core courses of the Bruce Arnold method..

Have you ever listened to a song you loved and wondered how the writer knew all those chords that sounded so great? Have you ever tried to compose a song, but found yourself running through the same familiar, simple chords all the time?  Or do you dream of playing great solos over complex progressions?  –Or being in demand as a bassist, guitarist or pianist?

If these sound like familiar desires to you, here is the course that will take you to your dreams. I’ve been wanting to take on this crucial chunk of music for a long time, and I’ve finally put it into a course that I think will really change your musicianship.

Understanding the concepts presented enables you to analyze any chord progression, giving you tremendous power to write and improvise music. This Harmonic Analysis book will help you to:

• Understand how a chord progression is built.
• Re-harmonize a chord progression.
• De-harmonize a chord progression.
• Create new bass lines through re-harmonization.
• Understand how you can use harmony as a soloist.
• Understand how you can use harmony as an accompanist.
• Immediately recognize chord relationships, thus facilitating the memorization of chord progressions.
• Understand how multiple chords may have the same function. This allows the grouping of chords into one function, facilitating easier soloing over complex chord changes and the ability to change chord progressions to give greater variety.

Learning and mastering the aforementioned techniques will totally change your understanding of music and allow you to be more creative.

The Harmonic Analysis course gives you a PDF and 48 videos to help learn and apply the harmonic knowledge needed to understand the structure of western music. You will get
