Understanding & Manipulating Chords Lesson

This PDF packet shows how to manipulate all of the chord shapes in open position. This lesson will give you a very good understanding of triads and how to manipulate your triad shapes in all 7 root structures...in my system of teaching there are only 7 chord shapes because all chords are built off only 7 root structures....It all comes down to Understanding How to Manipulate Chords! The last two pages of this pacet has a great exercise to get you using all these chord shapes, will help you remember where specific chord tones lie & will help you to see how to start manipulating them.
