It is a complete guide to three- and four-string guitar chords. Every application is covered including passing chords and altered chords, but only the most logical, practical and applicable chord voicings are presented. Review: chord progression analysis - I love this book; I refer to this book daily during my practice session; this is for a guitarist who is more advanced than beginner, but not advanced; it teaches you much better voicings than you are using now, more interesting ways to navigate the common chord sequences with better voice leading. One of the things I find frustrating is the inability to look in the index for a certain chord progression, perhaps the common I, VI, ii, V; there must be a dozen or so ways to play that progression in the book, but you can't find them all with the index; however, I find the content of the book SO USEFUL AND EXCELLENT, that I think I'm going to go ahead and make my own index of chord progressions. I have started inserting the recommended chord variations into my weekly jam session with my friends and they LOVE the sound of the modified progressions. Besides, this is just an enormous amount of fun to use. Initially I had a little trouble figuring out what key the suggested progressions were in but solved that w chatgpt. I asked chatgpt: I am trying to determine the key of a jazz chord progression. Analyze the progression please. Dm9 → G13#11 → Em7 → A7#5 Dm9: D minor 9 implies the ii chord in the key of C major (or i in D minor). It suggests both C major and D minor as potential keys. G13#11: G13#11 is a dominant chord often functioning as the V7 chord in the key of C major. The #11 adds a jazzy color, but it still strongly implies C major. Em7: E minor 7 is the iii chord in C major. This is consistent with the key of C major. A7#5: A7#5 is a dominant chord. In this progression, it could function as a secondary dominant (V7/ii in C major or V7 of D minor). Key Analysis: The progression leans toward C major, as the chords Dm9, G13#11, and Em7 fit neatly within the diatonic harmony of C major. The A7#5, with its altered tone, functions as a dominant chord leading back to Dm, creating a ii-V relationship in D minor. While it has elements of D minor, the overall tonality seems to resolve more strongly in C major due to the presence of G13#11 and Em7. Why this ambiguity exists: Jazz often uses borrowed chords, secondary dominants, and modal interchange, so a phrase can imply multiple tonal centers. In your example, the phrase has a "dual personality" because it shifts between C major and D minor (relative keys). Practical Tip: To determine the key in similar cases: Look for a chord that serves as the "home base" (tonic). Pay attention to the resolution—does the phrase feel like it wants to resolve to C (C major) or D (D minor)? Context matters—what chords follow this phrase? Let me know if you'd like to analyze more examples or discuss this further! You said: Perfect; Thank you. Let's try another chord sequence; what is the home key for this chord progression: Am7, D11b9, bm7, E7#9 ???? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT You're welcome! Let's dive into this progression and analyze it step by step. Chord Progression: Am7 → D11b9 → Bm7 → E7#9 Step-by-Step Analysis: Am7: A minor 7 is the ii chord in G major (or i in A minor). This chord gives a hint, but it's not definitive yet. D11b9: D11b9 is a dominant chord with added tension. The D root and altered extensions suggest it functions as a V chord resolving to G minor (if minor) or G major (if major). However, its placement here is more likely acting as a subdominant (IV) in A minor because jazz progressions often move to dominant (V) chords. Bm7: B minor 7 is the iii chord in G major. It can also function as a ii chord leading to a V chord (secondary ii-V progression). In this case, it's likely part of a ii-V in A major or E minor. E7#9: E7#9 is a dominant chord that almost always resolves to A minor or A major as its tonic. The altered 7#9 (a "Hendrix chord") adds tension for resolution. Overall Tonal Center: The progression strongly resolves to A minor: Am7 (i) → D11b9 (IV) → Bm7 (passing chord) → E7#9 (V7 resolving to A minor). Another way to see it is a ii-V-i in A minor: Bm7 → E7#9 → Am (though ii is borrowed here as Bm7 instead of Bø7). Why Not G Major? The D11b9 and E7#9 heavily suggest a dominant-tension resolution back to A minor, not G major. Final Answer: A minor is the home key for this progression. Review: Chords and Sequences - Easy to Use - Great Voice Leading - The chords are diagrammed, then shown in sample progressions - the voice leading of the progressions and the usability of the chords are where this book scores. It is an encyclopedia of chords and "melodic" chord progressions, which concentrates on demonstrating the chords in context. All chords are movable - I have not seen any open strings used in any of the chords. I already had good chord books, including the excellent "Rhythm and Background Chords", also by Warren Nunes, but I learned new ways of voicing chords and progressions I have used for years from this encyclopedia. There is no explanation of chord theory - the book is meant to be used as an encyclopedia - look up the chord progression you want to use and find many ways of voicing the chords that you would never have found on your own! You can also look up single chords and see multiple formats of the same chord on one page. Indispensable, valuable and well worth the cost.. The book is extremely well organized, the chord grids are easy to read and the grips are comfortable and usable. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #571,034 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #428 in Jazz Music (Books) #1,020 in Guitars (Books) #2,730 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 145 Reviews | ## Images ![The Jazz Guitar Chord Bible Complete - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y09wfJUuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ chord progression analysis *by J***Y on June 3, 2024* I love this book; I refer to this book daily during my practice session; this is for a guitarist who is more advanced than beginner, but not advanced; it teaches you much better voicings than you are using now, more interesting ways to navigate the common chord sequences with better voice leading.
