Working through this book will improve fretboard knowledge and help you write better melody-chord arrangements.For the first time in print, VOICE MOTION presents a condensed, comprehensive list of all the possible ways for three voices to move in 2nds or 3rds within the context of common 7-note or heptatonic scales.
