Summary of This Method
Designed as a methodical journey to develop true mastery of contemporary guitar, this method emphasizes understanding and applying chords in concrete musical contexts. You will find a variety of studies: chord melody solos to learn how to make harmony sing, chord studies to solidify voicing construction, as well as triad-based studies to clarify fretboard logic and essential chord progressions. The book also includes quartal harmony studies, particularly useful for exploring modern colors, enriching your accompaniments, and renewing your improvisation ideas.
The content is organized by keys (B, G#m, Db, Bbm, Gb, Ebm), with a complete list of chords present in each key to immediately connect theory and practice. For each key, studies are presented in four different positions: a major advantage for working on transposition, gaining ease across the entire fretboard, and avoiding being "stuck" in a single playing area. The duets add a musical and interactive dimension, ideal for developing listening skills, rhythmic placement, and harmonic dialogue. Finally, access to online audio allows you to practice with reliable sound support, verify musical intentions, and improve your playing precision (tone, articulation, groove, and harmonic accuracy).
