 Great book! Jun 13, 2008
This little book is packed with valuable chord and chord progression information. I highly recommend it for begginers and as a nice referrence book for accomplished musicians. Anyone wanting to learn how to play keyboard looking for instant gratification should buy this book!

Piano Chords & Progressions May 01, 2008
The book is presented in a very succinct and comprehensive manner, yet it is very easy to understand. If a person is willing to invest the time following Mr. Shinn's suggestions, he/she will be able to learn chords and the progressions which could cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in private lessons. I have played keyboards for many years and taken private lessons from several teachers. Yet I never learned to play well by ear or how to play jazz and the blues--which I've always wanted to do. With the Piano Chords and Progressions book I have finally learned the secrets to be able to do this. I learned positioning of hands to easily play complicated chords along with many other "secrets". I highly recommend the book and know that discovering the world of chords will bring many hours of enjoyment.

 Fancy Title, No Substance Sep 23, 2007
This book has a fancy title, but the material is nothing, new, repetitive and boring. Whoever wrote a review raving "man, what a great book!" is either a liar or an idiot. This book is somewhere between poor and very poor!

 Piano Chords and Progressions Sep 14, 2007
This is a wonderful piano chord music book with one exception, which I consider very important, it doesn't give you any music that goes with the chords. Just learning chords is boring! If it had some music to go with it, even simple songs, it would be more palatable!
Because of this I was very disappointed with the book and am looking for one that has music that goes with the chords.

 Not what I expected . . . Aug 10, 2007
This book is definitely not what I expected. There are many short chapters on how to form chords, followed by a few chapters on chord progressions. I found many labeling mistakes in the chord examples (I don't know if this was his fault, or the fault of the book printer). This book really didn't provide any new chord progressions or tell me anything I didn't already know. It is basic music theory. No secret - - I wish I had saved my money!
