Features: Melody in a single line is clear, pure, and peaceful, but it is also monotonous, unfull, and lacks vitality. A melody without harmony is considered incomplete music, or at least insufficient. The correct use of harmony has a tremendous impact on melody. It can express the melody more accurately, vividly, and profoundly, giving it a sense of dimension and showcasing its various aspects. At the same time, the correct use of harmony not only enriches, beautifies, and refines the melody but also supports and reinforces its individuality, supplements its shortcomings, and makes it more perfect. The guitar is a harmonic instrument; whether we play a piece or sing along, we cannot be without chord usage for a moment. If we only play single notes without chords, the six-string guitar would become a single-string instrument, which would be laughable. How can chord configuration and application be considered correct? We believe there is no rigid, unchanging rule or fixed standard for chords. Music is an art, not mathematics, but it follows certain principles. What principles should we learn and master? This is the topic this book seeks to explore. Learning to chord, looking for shortcuts and taking shortcuts is not feasible. There are really no shortcuts here, because chord configuration is a complex subject that requires mastering fundamental knowledge such as intervals, chords, tonality, and modes. Therefore, we can only ask our friends to read this book from beginning to end, word for word. We believe this book will provide new help in improving your vocal professional knowledge, enabling you to create pleasant and melodious chords.
