Beginning Chord Melody 1

A long time student of the iconic Ted Greene, Dana Rasch has designed a 'systematic' approach to learning the art of chord melody on guitar. This incredibly 'well rounded' program is 'genre' inclusive, and not targeted at any one style but rather created with the intent to show students how useful and instantly applicable all Chord Melody ideas are, from Rock to Bebop.

The Chord Melody program provides students with one of the most exciting and accessable approaches to harmony and theory as applied to the neck.... from the award winning educator "Dick Grove".......THE CM course starts from the begining, with students requiring very few prerquisites to get going. Each information packed lesson systematically advances you to the highest level concepts found anywhere, .including the finest schools and institutes in LA and Boston... Students have raved at how this dynamic course has grounded them in all aspects of being a "Pro" guitarist and helped them to become confident solo performers in their favorite styles. 

BCM 1 and 2 give a complete and systematic way to work on, and understand the incredible strength of triads.

All 4 triads ( Major MInor Augmented and Diminished ) are discussed in terms of their respective strong to weak sounds....Open and Closed voicings. Systematic inversion. Voice leading and many 'triadic uses' such as modal progressions, assumed roots, improvisational ideas and more. The use of "Pick and Pluck' is emphasized which opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Dana, slowly adds simple but highly effective 'melodic ideas' including common tones, easy ascending and descending melodies...all of which give students 'instant application' and extremely recognizable options to explore in any style..
