Title: Poorly written.
Product review: I encourage anyone who is considering purchase of this book, to actually study the first few pages. The book is written in the same manner throughout, so whether this book will be useful to you or not, will be obvious in the first few pages.For myself, I found his explanatory paragraphs extremely difficult to follow and had to actually study and re-read several times each paragraph to figure out his intention. Then the samples were a second challenge, since they are not "clean" examples of the points that he was trying to make. For example, in demonstrating the Imaj7-IIm7-V7-I progression in the first sample, he uses notes that are not part of these chords. He does this throughout the book, unnecessarily complicating the point.He warns of this in the 5th paragraph of the Preface, where he states: "alterations that appear in the examples are not always indicated in chord symbols". This simply complicates the issue and lessons needlessly.
