My unique method for finding piano chords (especially 7th chords). I call it a "three finger method" because I simplify the chords down to three notes. These are sometimes called "shell voicings", and I have my own unique tricks for helping you to visualize them on the piano. This book covers the fundamentals, and it suitable for someone who has no musical experience, or only a basic knowledge of piano chords.

My third book after the two "speed read" books. In this book I wanted to explore some of the more difficult concepts when reading from a fake book, in fact I spend 60 pages on diminished and diminished 7th chords. I also create mind-bending patterns to help you practice good voice leading and common chord patterns when reading from a fake book. It's all annotated with notes underneath the staff, in my trademark "make it easy" style. This book begins with easy concepts, introducing piano chords in a slightly different way than the first two books, and then it moves on to more advanced concepts. This book is also geared towards those who learn by repetition rather than theory. My other two books require you to do more thinking than this book does. This book uses a "learn by example" style.

This book is a quick crash course on musical rhythm and explains how to read music consistently and effortlessly. The examples in the book are accompanied by online MP3 examples.

If there are only seven notes in a major scale, how hard could it be to play piano by ear? You have a one in seven chance of guessing the next note. If you can tell whether the note went up or down, it cuts the number of possibilities roughly in half. The key to learning to play piano by ear is studying a musical alphabet called "solfeggio". In this book, I teach you solfeggio and show you how you can teach yourself to play piano by ear.

By moving the chords and melodies into the eight most common key signatures, you'll get to explore these world class musical techniques in depth.
