Download or read book The Secret Chords written by Jesper Kaae and published by Jesper Kaae. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grab a standard open E chord and move it five frets up the neck and you will get a beautiful sounding Aadd9 chord. Open moveable chords are seldom described despite the vast amount of guitar literature available. Although often used by various artists these chords and chord systems are well kept secrets to many aspiring guitarists. This book will help expand your chord vocabulary with a set of new and refreshing chords that will inspire you and spark your creativity. Open moveable chords combine the movability of the barre chords and the easy fingering of the standard open chords, and they create some interesting new sounds at the same time. These types of chords will often add complex harmonic extensions to standard major/minor chords so this book focuses on scale degrees rather than chord names to simplify the theoretically complex nature of open moveable chords. The book also includes options for using pedal points on standard open chords. The Secret Chords contains explanatory introductions to each chapter but it is primarily a comprehensive collection of chord charts for open moveable chords. Read less and play more.

Levitin is not your typical scientist—he is also an award-winning musician and composer, and through lively interviews with some of today’s most celebrated musicians, from Sting to Kent Nagano and Mari Kodama, he shares their observations as to why music might be an effective therapy, in addition to plumbing scientific case studies, music theory, and music history. The result is a work of dazzling ideas, cutting-edge research, and jubilant celebration.

Download or read book The Guitar Decoder Ring written by Asher Black and published by MadPipe Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us want to decrypt the instrument and unleash our play, but the study of music, particularly guitar, is fraught with complex theorems and diagrams, rote memorization, arcane reference points, and archaic devices. Most guitar books are a rehash of tools invented centuries ago that turn the process into a slog. It's time for a new language. Meet SIGIL—the new language of guitar. Guitarists who want to improvise and compose, from novice to advanced, will find SIGIL, the guitar decoder ring, which is simple enough to keep in their heads, an accelerator for their progress. Music instructors will gain a refreshing new perspective on the fretboard. The guitar must be freed from the medieval conventions of the orchestra pit and conductor and unshackled from other instruments, like the piano, so guitar players can easily chart their own course. You will not find chord charts, scale patterns, mode charts, wheel of 5ths diagrams, or similar traditional devices in The Guitar Decoder Ring. This is an entirely new and portable language for the instrument that works everywhere, all the time, and does all of it faster and more simply. Most of what's occurring in guitar instruction is not new. There's been very little innovation in almost 600 years (guitar tablature) — 240 if you count the first 6-string. It's time. Be skeptical—it's fine. This book will equip you with a simple, portable, 5-letter alphabet and show you how to use it in every category of learning and progress to tear up the wall charts. Advanced players will speed more interesting solos and compositions. Instructors will have a gold-standard go-to book for equipping learners at EVERY level. The authors are a seasoned musician and thriving guitar instructor, Barry Gilman, and a relatively new musician, Asher Black, with a relevant background in logic, reasoning, history, and storytelling. The book is readable, humorous, and insightful and walks the reader through the toolset with eye-opening examples. This is guitar study re-engineered. Break through your lull or stall and free your play from the pit of worn habit.

An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
