Summary of This Method
This highly anticipated volume deeply explores the use of chords in progressions and their role in improvisation. The goal is simple: to transform knowledge (chords, modes, scales) into concrete music by learning to choose, sequence, and develop chords to build a solid framework, then develop coherent melodic lines over it.
The method relies on Adam Kadmon's unique presentation style, rich in diagrams and exercises, to create a true "encyclopedia" of harmonic and melodic possibilities. Improvisation and writing techniques are intentionally intertwined: each progression becomes a training ground to understand chord colors, tension and resolution points, as well as the natural directions of the music.
Among the topics covered, you will find a concept of instant song creation, "window soloing" (a structured approach to soloing over a harmonic zone), circle progressions, progressions based on scale degrees, diatonic progressions, 12-bar formats, as well as numerous exercise progressions. Designed to make advanced concepts more accessible, it allows applying these tools to composing original pieces in almost any style.
