If you're blown away
by that Axis of
Awesome video on YouTube where the trio sings 52 popular song melodies over the same four
chords, AND you're thinking "what a coincidence," then read no further -- pick this course up
immediately!
If you kinda get what a "one four five" progression is BUT you'd freeze if
they asked you to play a I-iii-vi-IV in the key of G, then consider this course the means by which
you will save yourself a lot of embarrassment in the future.
If you think the Nashville
numbering system is how you keep track of how many broken hearts, loyal dogs, cheating lovers,
pick-up trucks and/or bottles of whiskey you need to include in a country music song, then dig in
here partner.
If you can't rattle off at least 20 of the top 25 most popular rock and pop
progressions AND play them in any key, then say hello to your new little friend, Ravi's Guitar Lab: 30 Rock & Pop Progressions.
<< Click Player Below for a Video Excerpt>>
 As a course of
study, Guitar Lab: Rock & Pop Progressions will reveal the underlying theory and harmonic
application of what is commonly referred to as the Nashville numbering system. So much more than
just a way to communicate a series of changes, the system also guides your understanding of the
harmonic relationship between the chords in that series of changes.
As a reference guide,
Guitar Lab: Rock & Pop Progressions presents 30 of the most popular progressions used in rock and
pop music. You hear them all the time, you just can't identify them yet. Get a grip on these 30
progressions and you'll be able to recognize them instantly making it real easy to learn new tunes.
As an inspirational tool, Guitar Lab: 30 Rock & Pop Progressions will light your fire. If
you learn to think of a progressions as a painter thinks of a canvas, then you will appreciate how
so many songs can use the same progression and still sound distinctive. Your first baby step towards
creative songwriting.
 Ravi's professional credits are very impressive;
the guitarist, singer and songwriter has performed on the stages of Madison Square Garden, Louisiana
Superdome, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Rosie O'Donnell, Today Show, Good Morning America, Saturday
Night Live and even a White House Christmas party for President Clinton.
"I've organized
the chord progressions into four sections and then within each section, I'll dissect the common
variations and chord substitutions ultimately yielding 30 unique progressions. As a player or
accompanist, your ear will more easily learn to identify chord progressions through reason and
deduction (and muscle memory) rather than memorizing arbitrary sequences of chords. Moreover, this
will also help you understand songwriters' tendencies so that you can better anticipate chord
movements. Although this is not a technique course, I do include a few guitar-centric techniques to
help you spice things up as you play your favorite songs, jam with the band, or write the next big
hit!"
