Summary of This Book
With Accords (2000), Guy Leonard offers an efficient reference method to build and enrich your harmonic vocabulary on the keyboard. The content gathers the essential chords and their inversions, emphasizing the readability of positions and the logic of fingerings, allowing you to transition smoothly from one color to another. The diagrams and chord symbols facilitate quick reading, ideal for accompaniment, rehearsal, or composition situations.
The book alternates between closed positions (compact, useful for rhythmic playing and precise placements) and open positions (more spacious, perfect for broadening the sonic spectrum and avoiding overly dense stacking). Thanks to the transposition guides, you can adapt your chords to all keys and stabilize your muscle memory, whether you are working on classical cadences, modern progressions, or typical sequences for composing and arranging. A reliable resource for all levels, to keep handy for saving time, varying your voicings, and developing a more musical accompaniment.
