"ALL The Chords In The Whole Wide World!" - DVD & "Picture Book of Chords": " Have you ever wondered how many chords there are? I'm sure you know many chords, but are there lots more just waiting to be discovered?
This 2-hour DVD covers all the ways of forming chords. There are only so many ways of combining notes, and this DVD video explores the almost infinite variations a piano player can use to create their own, distinctive chord sounds.
Along with the DVD you'll get a 'picture book of chords' that shows over one thousand chords -- everything from diminished chords to chords with sharp 9ths and flat 7ths, plus 11th and 13th chords -- and then on the DVD Duane shows you how to voice the chords in various ways ('voice' means to position them on the keyboard for certain sounds) and combine certain chords for polytonality. You'll also learn about suspensions, alterations, 'slash chords', tone clusters, and more. Having this DVD and book is like having a dictionary -- absolutely necessary!

Piano chords -- Learn to play chord piano music!: "1. You're going to be able to play all 12 major piano chords easily and quickly. Some of my students can play them in as little as 3 seconds! (Honest!)
2. You're going to be able to pick out a tune with your right hand both 'by ear' and by reading notes. (Some people play by ear, and some by sight-reading. You're going to be able to do both.)
3. You will be able to play all minor piano chords, all diminished piano chords, and all augmented piano chords, just by changing each major piano chord slightly. But that's not all: You will also learn how to form and play 6th chords, minor 6th chords, 7th chords, minor 7th chords, maj7th chords (different than 'regular' 7th chords), and even 9th chords! You will be able to do this for the rest of your life.
4. You will learn to create a chording rhythm pattern with your left hand, made out of the piano chords you learn, which you can use on a thousand different songs the rest of your life. If you like ragtime, you can use it on The Entertainer, and songs like that. If you like gospel music, you can use it on Amazing Grace, and a thousand other hymns or other Christian music (Actually -- any kind of 'popular' piano music). If' you like Country-Western or Contemporary or Pop or whatever, you can apply this 'chording bass' pattern to your favorite songs. (The only kind of piano music you shouldn't use it on is classical). You will learn to do this 'swing bass' technique in both 3/4 and 4/4 time (and all the other variations). Then you will learn a left-hand technique called 'arpeggios' -- where you'll 'stretch out' the chord into a beautiful and full orchestral sound -- great for ballads, love songs, certain praise & worship songs, etc.
5. You will learn a wonderful 'harmonizing trick"
Piano chords -- Learn to play chord piano music!: "I really will teach you to play 'chord piano' within the next ten days, or it won't cost you a single cent. Piano chords will revolutionize your piano playing, and you'll LOVE playing with them!
I've been teaching piano lessons here in the Rogue River Valley of Oregon for over 20 years, and my Keyboard Workshop is known not only locally, but all around the world. If I couldn't do what I say I can do, I wouldn't still be around. But I'll leave that entirely up to you. If you don't learn to play 'chord-style' piano in ten days, just send the course back to me and I'll give you an immediate refund -- no questions asked. I mean it. It's that good.
Here's what you're going to be able to play 10 days from the time you receive your piano lesson course in Chord Piano:"
