Customer Reviews

Great book!
This little book is packed with valuable chord and chord progression information. I highly recommend it for begginers and as a nice referrence book for accomplished musicians. Anyone wanting to learn how to play keyboard looking for instant gratification should buy this book!

Piano Chords & Progressions
The book is presented in a very succinct and comprehensive manner, yet it is very easy to understand. If a person is willing to invest the time following Mr. Shinn's suggestions, he/she will be able to learn chords and the progressions which could cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in private lessons. I have played keyboards for many years and taken private lessons from several teachers. Yet I never learned to play well by ear or how to play jazz and the blues--which I've always wanted to do. With the Piano Chords and Progressions book I have finally learned the secrets to be able to do this. I learned positioning of hands to easily play complicated chords along with many other "secrets". I highly recommend the book and know that discovering the world of chords will bring many hours of enjoyment.

Fancy Title, No Substance
This book has a fancy title, but the material is nothing, new, repetitive and boring. Whoever wrote a review raving "man, what a great book!" is either a liar or an idiot. This book is somewhere between poor and very poor!
