Intr ntrodu oductory ctory N Notes otes

1 Th The e chor chords ds in this book are voiced in a way that makes them eas easy y to find and play effe effectivel ctively. y. But that doesn d oesn t mean you c can an t play them differently if you want to. The notes contained in the right hand can be The be rearranged in any order you like, and will still represent repr esent the chor chord d symbol shown, like this:

etc

The left hand can also be changed to alter the chord structure. Sometimes, when this is specifically required, requi red, the left hand alte alteratio ration n will be indicated by a cu cut1 t1 or slash ) chord, consisting of a chor chord d symbol followed by a sloping lin line e (th the e cu cutt or slash ), followed by the root, o orr bass note note,, that you need to play. I E for insta instance, nce, means that a c chord hord of C is t o be played played with an E root, or bass note. Here s one way of playing that:

 

In addition, you will often see ''cut cut'' chords containing a root not found in the chord itself. Am7/D, Am7 /D, for instance, played like this ...

... is actually D l 1, described in a more common commonly ly understood fashion for those who may not know what D l 1 means. Now, how howeve ever, r, with the t-~elp f this book, you will never never h have ave an any y trouble pla playing ying D l 1 - or, indeed, any other chords you are likely to be faced with The following keys are not covered here: C#,D#, C#,D#, F#,G# F#, G#and and A#. The They y ar are e iden identica ticall to, respectively, Db, Eb, Gb, Gb, Ab an and d Bb (w (wh hich ic h played exactly the sam same. e.

covered) and are

Some keys (C, Eb l F A and Bb) contain more chords than the others. If you come across these additional chords in any of the keys which don t have them, you will be able to work them out easily from the nearest example (e.g., the notes in a G chord are two semitones up from those in F).
