- Songwriters looking up chord voicings quickly

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a graded, step-by-step method course
- Guitarists — the fingerings and diagrams are for keyboard
- Anyone wanting repertoire; this is reference, not songs

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a method book?
No. It is a reference guide for scales and chords, meant for looking things up. It does not teach playing step by step.
02What size is the book?
9 inches wide by 12 inches long, the standard sheet-music format that fits a piano music desk.
03Will this work for keyboard as well as acoustic piano?
Yes. Scales and chord shapes are the same on any standard keyboard layout, so it applies to digital pianos and synths equally.
04Does it cover all keys?
It is built as a master scale and chord guide, organized so you can look up material by key and chord type.
