These sequences also help in learning what any interval is of a given note, the chord tones of chords and aide in memorizing scales.

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.
