Volume I will take you from day one as a beginner up to being able to play with a band, take a solo, and write your own songs. In this volume you will learn everything from major, minor and pentatonic scales, to power chords, bar chords, and alternate "cool chords" as well as licks, rhythm and chord progressions.
The Second Volume takes you further by showing you movable scales, more licks, advanced rhythm playing, chord harmony for major and minor keys funk rhythms, songwriting ideas and more.
The next Volume, Volume III, gets deeper by covering scale building, more licks, triads, triad inversions, triad over bass notes, and further songwriting ideas.
Volume IV gets into advanced quartal harmony, lots of 7th chords, chord building, key signatures and songwriting ideas like secondary dominance, odd time signatures and more fun stuff.
Volume V is all about modes. It covers how to play and understand them relative and parallel to each other, melodically and harmonically.
