Practice Perfect Applied Slash Chord Ear Training V2 applies slash chords to a 12 bar blues progression. The principle behind this course is to create slash chords from the original scale that was used for each chord change in the original progression. This is a common technique you should use when you are trying to create slash chords that won’t interfere with the original scale or chord of the moment. In other words you can use your slash chords without worry about interfering with someone soloing over the original changes.

What people are saying:

This is a great ear training course but the information in the PDF is exactly what I’ve been looking for for years! A detailed explanation of how to use slash chords as well as how to produce them in various musical situations. Excellent! Y. Boigon

I’ve been working with the Practice Perfect Jazz Series and this fits right in. The slash chords give the 12 bar blues such a modern sound. Really love working with these chord progressions and the key of E and A are really pushing my limits to hearing within a key center. Thanks P. Lawrence

Slash chords have been a mystery to me all my life. Couldn’t hear them nor did I understand how they were chosen within a chord progression. This book answers both of those questions. I’m so glad that I found this website! Q. Neiberg

Well this new book certainly kicks it up a notch from the Practice Perfect Applied Slash Chord Ear Training V1. Yikes! this is going to take me awhile to process, but I love it. Thanks! J. James
