Summary: now I get it!
Comment: I took piano lessons for 5+ years and in elementary/junior high. I never had the least idea how to make any chord, except by reading the notes. I never knew why one chord was called a G and another was a C7. (Possibly my teachers tried to tell me, and I was not paying attention -- I wasn't the most attentive student.) I started recently trying to play keyboard and I bought one of those little books that shows every chord and its inversions. Very time consuming to look up and try to memorize each chord! But after reading this book and "How to Play the Piano Despite Years of Lessons" I can actually sit down and play any major chord, and figure out any minor, diminished, augmented, and 7th. There is actually a rhyme and reason behind it all! Who knew?! I'm having a lot of fun with these books, although I can't say I'm ready to play for an audience.

Summary: Waste of money
Comment: If you follow this book to learn how to play from a fake book, all you will end up with is sounding like you are playing a melody on your right hand, and block chords/arpeggios on your left. Not only very amateurish, but sounds downright ugly, and certainly no need for 88 pages to teach you that! You will have more fun and learn more on the way by getting pop sheet music. They all come with piano arrangments and chord symbols. Studying how the pros arrange the harmonies and accompaniments in these pop sheet music will tell you much more than anything this book has to offer. If you are classically trained and don't know what the chord symbols mean, a google search will give you all the answers. And if you don't know how to read music, well, this book won't help you anyway.

Summary: Maravilloso
Comment: Para los hispano parlantes: Una invaluable herramienta para entender la manera en que se construye la armonía a partir de un fake-book. (Los que tienen únicamente la línea de la melodía con los acordes encima de ella) Muestra la manera de construír modelos de acompañamiento en diferentes signaturas de tiempo 4/4 3/4 6/8, etc. acordes mayores, menores, aumentados, disminuídos, séptima dominante, sustituídos, etc. No lo he terminado de estudiar, pero cada página tiene algo nuevo y que se puede aplicar inmediatamente, con piezas musicales de ejemplo.

Lo recomiendo ampliamente. El precio a pagar no es nada comparado con los beneficios.
