Tom Kolb: Chord Progressions For Guitar Reviews

  This was not quite what I expected. I was looking more for the theory of how chords sound in progressions, and what patterns they show up in in various genres of popular music. That was talked about for the given examples, but they were more tabbed out sound-alike versions of popular songs organized by genre. I didn't really learn anything about what chords sound good in which sequences any more than I would by playing through a variety of pop songs, but there was a good bit more information here about interesting chord voicings and strumming rhythms than I expected. I would still like to find a book that would walk me through ways to put chords together, since I didn't find it here, but I do at least feel like I learned something by working my way through this.
