‘A Course In Minors’, E9th Tuning – Billy Cooper
This course is a comprehensive study of the use of the minor scale and minor chords. You will learn how valuable minors can be even when playing in a major key. For example, many times a minor chord may be used as a ‘passing’ chord in place of a seventh.
In addition to discovering other innovative ways in which minors may be used, you will also learn how familiarity with minors can be of great assistance when playing lead parts.
The 25 page instruction book includes an E9th tuning chart, tablature instruction, minor/major scale comparisons and 15 different minor chord exercises. Also presented is complete tablature for ‘Sonora Trail’ and ‘Just A Minor Thing’, the two original compositions played in the minor key found on Billy’s first album ‘Billy Cooper-Steel Guitar’.
Billy demonstrates all instruction on the accompanying 30 track CD. Also included on the CD are the two songs played in their entirety followed by the complete rhythm track for each one. Appropriate for beginner to advanced players.
