For years I have had musician friends ask me to show them how to read chord changes. I thought it would be a great idea to put the information in a movie and make it easy for people to get. I have been able to play in some really cool situations because I know how to read chord symbols. Its a really good way to learn new songs because there are several books with your favorite songs in them written out with chord symbols. It’s great for communication among musicians. Its a whole lot easier to say the chord is a Fmin7 rather than saying play a F Ab C and Eb. Its also great for saving time in band rehearsal if everyone can read chord symbols. Songwriters can use the knowledge of reading chord symbols to help them write songs. This also could be a great way for those who want to learn to play piano to get started.

The movie is very detailed and is simple enough that anyone can understand it. Even if you don’t read music or have not been formally trained this movie can really help you. I know musicians that can play their rear ends off but if you asked them to play a Bbsus7 chord they couldn’t even if their life depended on it.

The concepts of reading chord symbols are really simple. You just need someone to explain to you what’s really going on. When someone explains to you how it works you will say “oh that’s easy”. How many times have you seen chords that look like this. Ab7(#11)(13), Dbmin11, Gsus9, D13. If you already know how to read chord symbols you know that it’s not that hard but if you don’t know how to read chord symbols you are probably thinking “what in the world is that”. In the movie I break down how this stuff works and believe me it really is simple. You can download the movie today for only $3.95.
