  • Harmonic Analysis: How to read a chord chart and understand why a chord works in a specific context, rather than just memorizing shapes.
  • The II-V-I Progression: The backbone of jazz harmony, broken down into digestible mechanics.
  • Tritone Substitution: A staple in jazz and tango, explaining how to create tension and surprise in progressions.
  • Voice Leading: Perhaps the most valuable lesson for guitarists—learning how to move from chord to chord with the least amount of hand movement, creating smooth, professional-sounding transitions.
  • Application in Popular Music: Gabis draws from his vast experience in Rock, Blues, and Tango to show that these theoretical concepts are not just academic—they are the tools used by the greats.
