CHORD INNOVATIONS IN ACTION The chord layout illustrations below show two individual examples of how the Chord Innovations processing system of these books enriches the "resolving harmony effect" of an original chord pattern. Let us consider that the upper chord patterns are a section of the original chords for that particular song. The lower chord progressions are an arrangement of harmony enhancing innovated chords. Notice that all of the upper original chords are also programmed into the innovated chord section, but re-arranged to take up different positions in order to allow the innovated chords to be sequenced in an orderly C. of F. fashion. Chord Innovations enhances the musical quality of an original chord pattern. It does not change its course. NB. Be precise and play slowly (speed kills!). For chart accuracy please ensure your CRT monitor settings are 1024 x 768 or 1152 x 864
