This comprehensive 196 page spiral bound book will take you from intervals and basic chord structure through advanced jazz chords in a way that will help you learn on a deep level, not just superficially. The first 2/3rds of the book present the harmony and theory with explanations, examples, and workbook fill-in opportunities. The last 1/3 of the book contains 26 training exercises that give you an opportunity to play your new knowledge into action. They introduce you to a vocabulary of interesting melodic motifs combined with cool jazz chord voicings. They sound great and are fun to play!
