Guitar Chord Parser Plus Review

The Chord parser plus is a new guide out there for you guitarists. Written by Christopher Manger who is currently an In-School College Guitar Student.

He brings to the table the fact that even though learning scales & advanced chords, which is where most people move onto after learning the basics, which is fine, but there’s no compromise for pure creativity and noting that most people who learn the guitar seem to become drones; pick a song you like, find the tab, repeat repeat repeat until you get it right….

So, creativity is the key! but you can’t just turn on creativity…can you?

Reading on, it appears that Christopher many have stumbled on to a few key points on his website and is quite happy to explain them, this also includes a brilliant and entertaining analogy of the internal workings of a car, with diagram. In addition to this there is an example video of an accomplished artist showing to what you can do.

So what else is included? Two extra free Bonuses…

Pitch Master Pro Review – Can you master relative pitch?

Pitch Master Pro has a unique trait, it doesn’t necessarily teach you how to play the guitar better or enhance your musical abilities but hones in on the method of being able to listen to what your actually playing and thus allowing you to correct it.

Not only does this technique enable you to do this, but it also allows you to listen to a piece of music and then play it back from ear far easier than before, all because you can hear the notes and the pitch, both relative as well as absolute.

So what is Relative Pitch??

Have you ever witnessed a musician or friend just listen to a piece of music, and in 5 minutes to be able to play it back, almost as though they had been practicing for weeks! What most of the onlookers don’t realize is that they were using the skill of relative pitch to hear what notes needed to be played.

So what is Absolute pitch??

This is quite hard to explain, so here’s an analogy. Have you ever heard a song and later you couldn’t get it out of your head? All day that melody kept repeating over and over again, it was almost like you were actually hearing the notes ringing in your ears! The idea of hearing notes and chords in your mind is very much at the heart of absolute pitch. Also sometimes called Perfect pitch.

The Pitch Master Pro software is broken up into two separate modules. Relative Pitch and Absolute Pitch. Each module includes various sections designed to teach you to master the art of pitch recognition.

In the Relative Pitch module you will learn to:

1. Name every interval by ear. Example, Perfect 5th.
2. Name all common chords by ear. Example, Major 7.
3. Name all the modes of a major scale by ear. Example, Dorian Mode.

In the Absolute Pitch module you will learn to:

1. Audiate various notes through specially designed exercises. This will enable you to hear notes in your mind and connect them with note names.
2. Name any note by ear. Example, A3.

Pitch Master Pro also benefits from over 200 lessons of multiple choice quizzes so you can test your progress as you build up your inner ear. And best of all, these quizzes are randomized so you will never get bored!

Not only that, but on top of all this there are also a number of bonuses which come with this package which include:

Free Bonus #1 – “Guitar Chords Pro 1.0″
Free Bonus #2 – “eTuner Pro 1.0″
Free Bonus #3 – “ClickTrack Pro 1.0″
Free Bonus #4 – “The Guitarists’ Guide To Reading Music Notation”
Free Bonus #5 – “The Guitarists’ Guide To Tuning & Stringing”

PLUS, Guitar Tutor Pro worth $47.00!!
