The Book of Chord Tones - Major 7 Chords

The Book Of Chord Tones, Book 1 for Major Chords contains 24 separate two-octave exercises based on the chord tones for each of the 12 major 7th chords. Chord tones are key to creating harmonically strong bass lines, solo phrases and melodies. By practicing these exercises your fingers and ears will become very familiar with the notes that give the major chord it's distinctive sound and know where all the notes are for every major chord on the neck. For each of the 12 major chords there are a total of 24 exercises (in both standard bass clef notation and tablature) that play all the possible permutations of the 4 notes that make up each chord. These are not "licks" but the building blocks of licks that will allow you to create your own phrases using these key harmonic tones. This is a reference volume of practice exercises for major chords that will be useful in any bass library and will challenge even experienced players and proficient sight-readers.
