Practice Cycles and Sequences
Sequences and cycles for practicing scales, intervals, melodic sequences and arpeggios.

Lesson Info
I constantly read online and hear. "Is, where, what site, what software is there for this or that chord or all the chord voicings." Well camper! It's not here. Chord dictionaries, software, web sites are not the answer. Even chord theory does not offer any insight into unraveling the complexity of chord voicings.

These Movable Form Chords lessons have been updated, enhanced and now reside in the Members Subscription area for all basic and Members.
