First 50 Chord Progressions You Should Play On Piano book (with Audio)
This book is full of gig-ready piano accompaniment ("comping") parts, based on the chord progressions from fifty famous songs - starting with simple two-chord progressions from pop and rock classics, through to more sophisticated progressions used in R&B, blues, and jazz standards.
We've also created a free 35-page Author Supplement to accompany this book - to give you even more of the "inside scoop" behind each piano example!
