There are actually 3 volumes of these books by Mick Goodrick. The problem that I have found with the books is that there is not much instruction included with them. This may be due to Mr. Goodrick using the books to teach with personally, thus giving instruction on using the the material in lessons, or, maybe due to the immense volume of information included in each book.

Either way, the books are hard to follow without more instruction. Having said this, I would also have to say that I have spe There are actually 3 volumes of these books by Mick Goodrick.

Having said this, I would also have to say that I have spent an incredible amount of time pondering over these books, more so than any other music books.

Aug 4, 2012 - Mr Good Chords Almanac Of Guitar Voice Leading has 6 ratings and 1. Or, maybe due to the immense volume of information included in each.

I had to think a lot about the material in these books and thinking is a good thing. Not being instructed to a great degree has lead me to figuring out the material and, how to use the material in my music - that is independent thinking - another good thing!

There are still aspects of the material in these books that I don't completely understand. That's not really a bad thing. I will understand the material in these books when I am ready. One thing that I would suggest is a supplement book with detailed explanations of the material, maybe with examples written out for the guitar in normal notation and/or tablature. That would make the intent of the material in the books more clear for the average reader and/or student. This would also speed along the understanding of the material so that the reader can use that material in his/her music. Thanks, James Murrell r.

I can't vouch for the accuracy, but there's this (from page 13 of the thread, posted today). The guy who wrote it (David/TruthHertz) seems to be working with Mick to get the material self published.

There are quite a few posts going back to last year discussing it. 'They're presently being formatted for publication as a 8 volume set. The originals were done as 3 huge and very intimidating volumes that included diatonic, melodic minor and harmonic minor based books. For a vast majority of people who bought these books, it was too much information and I dare say 98% of the people who bought these books shelved them and never even started using the material. So occasionally somebody takes theirs off the shelf and puts it on Ebay.

They go for $200-300@ and the third volume, which was never a big seller, never appears. The legalities of the Goodchord dissolution are being worked out and the plan is to have books that focus on one particular chord family, for a specific group of voicings.

That makes the actual assimilation of the material a bit more bite sized and helpfully organized, not to mention, affordable. In answer to your inquiry, Dioxic, stay tuned, I'm about to make some kind of announcement in the next 10 days or so. A bunch of things I'm busy working on may be coming to fruition. This thread on the forum will be the first in the loop.' I can't vouch for the accuracy, but there's this (from page 13 of the thread, posted today).
