Areas covered include: • Major 7th chords • Minor 7th chords • Dominant 7th chords • Minor ii (flat-5) chords • Tritone substitutions • Variety of progressions using all of the above • And more C Instruments Book & DVD (43719)............................................................. $50.00 B-flat Tenor & Soprano Saxophone Book & DVD (43721) ..............................$50.00 B-flat Trumpet & Clarinet Book & DVD (43723) .............................................$50.00 E-flat Instruments Book & DVD (43725) .......................................................$50.00 Bass Clef Instruments Book & DVD (43727) .................................................$50.00
