Customer Reviews

Not just a list of chords, but actual music to play using chords
This is a wonderful book, if you're interested in learning how to put chords together to create music at the piano. It teaches you all the basic progressions and provides many beautiful samples of how to put them into action. I'm writing mostly to counterbalance the one other review that appears here. That person made a mistake on their order, thinking that they were buying a book that provided a list of all the chords. Undoubtedly, such a book could be a useful tool, perhaps especially in conjunction with this book. If you read the description of this book, you will clearly see what it offers. I recommend it.

Totally Useless
I needed a list of chords--not a book to show how to play a basic 1-3-5- or inversion thereof, therefore, not what I expected.
