Muito bom trabalho sobre o assunto. Tive dificuldades com o material de apoio e prontamente a equipe me ajudou! Valeu a pena demais
Muito obrigado por reservar um tempo para revisar nossa publicação. Que bom que está ajudando você em seus estudos de violão.
I have only recently started studying this book and already it has improved my performance. The information about stacked triads greatly simplifies 'complex' chord structures and provides you with many options regarding chord voicings, passing chord possibilities and arpeggios to play over common jazz progressions.As I've only worked through the first chapter, which I will be drawing upon for years to come, I can't give an overall review of the book but I'm confident that the info provided will greatly expand the musical horizons of any intrepid guitarist.
A new guitar approach. New author to me. Not bad.
Great for self taught
I've only started working through this book, but I've already learned a valuable thing, namely, how easy it is to more or less instantly generate complex chords, all over the guitar, using stacked triads. The polychordal and upper structure approach is something I've needed to add to my tool bag for a while, and this appears to be the book for me. Many YouTube sites on uppers structures haven't given me the organized, detailed approach that I want, but this book has very clear explanations and diagrams.There is an extensive collection of free downloadable MP3s that support all the exercises/examples. You may need to download and RAR-capable app to open them. I used BreeZip and it worked flawlessly.Upper structures allow one to easily access 'jazzier' notes for arpeggios, licks, and chords. But the key (for me) was finding a way to consolidate this information, and this book appears to offer the solution. My thanks to the author for the obviously large amount of work he put into this book!
