I'm Releasing A Chapter From My Upcoming Chord Book
Added 2023-05-13 12:53:00 +0000 UTCI know it's been quiet here, but that's going to change soon since my book is nearly finished! Here's a peek at what I've been working on-it's only one chapter out of the 34 that will be in the book but it should demonstrate how things will be taught and presented.
Note - there are still a few things missing from this! Most importantly, the audio examples which are marked with the [play] sign. Those will be interactive online, so you can play them with a mouse-click, and will also be linked to a url that is accessible by scanning a QR code at the start of each chapter, making them easy to hear without being near your instrument. That side of things can't get assembled till the entire book is finalized though, a milestone that seems to be only about 3 weeks away. There are also some confusing terminologies that are taught in earlier chapters, so sadly, some topics may be out of your paradigm for now. But for many of you, I think this single chapter should provide a fun and educational glimpse into the dim7 chord and its employability. You guitarists should also know that the back of the book will contain more chord shapes than just the movable one presented at the beginning of each chapter.
It has gone through a round of editing, but still hasn't gone through "final final edit," so please let me know in the comments if you spot any typos or mistakes in the diagrams. The sheet music is intentionally different from the guitar tab as to present variations in voicings, but if something else looks off, please let me know! Also, if you have questions on the topic itself, ask away.
Sadly, I won't be posting much here until this is done. I'm right near the finish line and I want every free hour I have to go into finishing this so I can get back to making lessons and fun stuff for YouTube. So if you can just hang in there a bit longer I'd greatly appreciate it!
Just a reminder, for all Patreon subscribers I'll offering the digital PDF for the book at name-your-own-price, and will be offering the book itself at a hefty discount. I hope this makes up for the lack of content here as of late.
Lastly, THANK YOU AGAIN for being here and for being patient. I'm ridiculously excited to finish this book so I can get back to business as usual, but I also can't wait till people get it in their hands. I truly think it'll be one of the best music resources available for the modern songwriter, and the only reason it'll exist is because of your support =D
See you soon!

2023-09-21 03:57:19 +0000 UTCSad to see people showing their discontent about the lack of videos. While I do understand them to an extent, they could've at least not publicize their departure and leave quietly without stirring stuff up. However in my opinion, with the amount of free educational content Jake had put out there on YouTube he deserves any support even when he's not uploading regularly

2023-09-06 21:50:25 +0000 UTCDo not stress the delay, Jake. Good things take time to get right. And everything you have put out there has been good so I have no doubt this will be too and that it will be worth it. The people who like your channel and become patrons do so because of your attention to detail. So keep on doing you. We got your back. Itโs going to be awesome and we are excited for it. All the best.
