Chords and Scales

The book takes a look at music's inner workings from the point of view of chords and scales - two of its most important elements, inasmuch that they represent harmony and melody. The reader is given a guided tour around a musical builder's yard, seeing how chords and scales are constructed, how they sound and how they're used. A final section on improvisation shows how harmony and melody come together to create guitar solos, with tips for unlocking the route to creativity. Every stage is supported by the accompanying audio CD, which also contains backing tracks for practising the exercises in the book.
