Our brain acts like a giant digital recorder automatically recording and storing every sound you hear. People who are said to have a “good ear for music” in reality have a refined memory for sound. Your ear simply sits on the side of your head and picks up the audio signals. The great news is your “memory for sound” can be developed and refined. You already have an excellent memory for sound that’s how you remember the sound of the words we use in our conversations, the sound of the phone ringing etc. By making a conscious effort to focus on the sound of each chord progression (as it is presented clearly to you in this course) you will quickly develop the ability to recall the information you need when you want it. The songs and chord progressions in this book are designed to be the perfect compliment to the material you have already studied in EXPRESS GUITAR™ Volume 1. The material included in this volume will take your guitar playing and musicianship, to the next level and enrich your performance repertoire with contrasting material (different chord textures, tempo, mood etc,) to maintain maximum audience interest and participation. The learning process is generally regarded as a conscious activity, involving the study and processing of information via various external media (computer programs, printed material, television broadcasts, etc) It is important to keep in mind that while this forms a valid, time honored concept of learning, it fails to acknowledge the enormous potential of our subconscious, even unconscious means of learning. The trick is to have the conscious mind notice the information Again, we will focus on the sound of each chord progression until you can recognize the sound. As you play these songs you will develop your relative pitch. Relative Pitch : Without relative pitch, music can seem like a jumble of tones - like watching a fuzzy TV. With a poorly tuned ear, you receive only a blurred impression of the music; the details are lost. Relative Pitch enables your ear to FOCUS on the tones - so you get sharp detail of what’s happening.

It has been called as the “Heart and Soul ” Progression, the “Blue Moon” progression, and other names. Musicians know it by the formula ( 1 6 4 5 ) The Doo Wop Progression was used extensively during the Doo-Wop era from 1958 to 1963, and is still used to create hit songs today. As nothing succeeds quite like success, there are numerous examples of hit songs written with any of the 24 possible combinations of these four chords. It is important to note that this chord progression existed and was popular with the public long before the Doo-Wop
