5.0 out of 5 stars Music theory made practical, June 22, 2008

This review is from: Understanding Chord Progressions (DVD)

This is a very good video. It goes beyond what the title implies.

He covers chord progressions, song structure, and the circle of fifths and how they relate to the guitar. Also covered is chords and diatonic melody structures. He relates it all to to position in the scale so you can transpose to any key.

It would be hard to say too many good things about this video. It demystifies how you actually use the dreaded music theory in a practical way.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best guitar teacher I know, July 3, 2009

By

This review is from: Understanding Chord Progressions (DVD)

Why does music work the way it does, what comes next in a progression? Fred explains in clear brilliantly simple style the theory behind the movement of music, the pattern that remains the same, even though the key can change, the structure that makes the song. This is a rosetta stone for musical understanding and Fred is the man who helps you understand it without obfuscation and ego, but with the clarity of a teacher who really knows music inside out. He's a brilliant teacher and a really good player. Buy this dvd, buy all his dvd's they're the best way to learn guitar that I've found. Fred is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Song Theory without Mumbo Jumbo, July 11, 2010

By 

Ron Chibnik - See all my reviews

This review is from: Understanding Chord Progressions (DVD)

In his calm and natural style, Fred explains song organization with a mix of licks, chords, songs and theory. You will learn a lot about how to listen for chord progressions by watching and playing along with very accessible instruction for guitarists of all levels.
