This book breaks down how music is like learning grammar behind a new language. It makes the connection between scales, intervals, chords, and progressions like the alphabet, phonetics, words, sentences and documents. The more we get comfortable with the language of music, it will become easier to create, understand, and perform music.

Build technique and train the ear to hear various harmonies as you play through various chord types in triplet, arpeggio patterns.

This is an additional document to compliment Joel McCray's Youtube, 6-2 Progression video.

This drill provides technique development and tasteful dorian melodic/harmonic ideas for minor chords.

Dorian scales represent minor scales created by playing up an octave from the second degree of a major scale. (i.e. playing from D - D in the C scale or A to A in the G scale)

Cool voicings that can be used in Jazz and Gospel. You can also substitute these voicings into other genres

This book contains 17 rhythms charts/lead sheets for song favorites from Joel's latest project, "Cohesion", and from his projects "New Beginnings" and "Song For You". "Shout Out" and "In Season" from Joseph Vincelli's "The Invitation" are also included.
