You'll discover new chords and combinations! By refining your musical ideas, you'll increase the expressiveness of your compositions! Whether it's a novel or a dish, if there is no clear theme, it's hard to convey what you're trying to say. The same goes for composition! Great pieces have a clear theme, or "musical idea." This book introduces 100 patterns of eight-bar chord progression ideas that combine chords to create songs with the image you want, such as "bright," "sad," "stylish," "stimulating," "dark," or "mysterious"! It introduces not only keywords but also genres such as pop and rock. If you've been feeling a bit stuck for ideas for songs lately, you might find some surprising insights, or discover roots music that suits your tastes among the reference artists introduced on each page. It even includes diagrams for guitarists, something that's rarely found in keyboard-based learning materials! You're sure to encounter fresh chord progressions and voicings that guitarists accustomed to composing on guitar might not think of. By using easy-to-understand diagrams without using sheet music, even beginners can easily try out composition. It includes optimal voicings for both keyboard and guitar. Even for chords that are difficult to visualize, you can check the chord sounds on the included CD and MIDI files (keyboard and rhythm tracks). Perfect for both guitar and keyboard players!
