BRATTLEBORO — Lisa McCormick, one of the lead guitar instructors at GuitarTricks.com, has just released a new educational program for guitar learners, Chord Theory Magic, Just for Guitar. GuitarTricks.com has licensed the program, to be distributed to the site's thousands of subscribers as a holiday season gift.
GuitarTricks.com founder, Jon Broderick, explains why he chose McCormick's product:
“We were thrilled to give a copy of Lisa McCormick's Chord Theory Magic, Just for Guitar to all of our full-access subscribers to Guitar Tricks as a holiday gift because everyone at Guitar Tricks simply adores Lisa, her warm personality, and her outstanding teaching skills. We couldn't wait to get our hands on Chord Theory Magic, Just for Guitar,” Broderick says.
Chord Theory Magic, Just for Guitar is an audio learning program which teaches basic concepts of chords and major keys, specifically as they relate to the guitar. An understanding of chord theory can help guitarists learn to play by ear, figure out how to play songs on their own, jam and improvise, transpose songs from one key to another, and write their own songs and chord progressions.
Through listening and visualization exercises, users gain an understanding of how major and minor chords are constructed, and how they work together within a key to form songs. Presented with beginner-friendly language and a simple systematic approach, Chord Theory Magic, Just for Guitar joins McCormick's extensive catalog of lessons and resources for beginning and intermediate guitar learners.
Chord Theory Magic, Just for Guitar is available free of charge to new and veteran GuitarTricks.com subscribers during the month of December. The program is also available for purchase and download at Lisa McCormick's site, Getting Started With Guitar (http://GettingStartedWithGuitar.net).
