Janek Gwizdala: Chordal Harmony 2 Bassist and educator Janek Gwizdala has just published the followup to his in-depth educational book, Chordal Harmony. Volume 2 dives even deeper with a focus on voicings, chord melody, and reharmonization.

“Matching the original Chordal Harmony’s innovative approach, rigorous and thoughtful exercises, and attention to detail, Volume 2 will take you far, far deeper into the new and challenging world of chords on bass,” Gwizdala writes. “Travel through Janek’s in-depth processes for finding the most creative voicings, creating effective chord melodies, sparking and building upon new compositional devices, and even his best techniques for live performances and effective looping.”

Chordal Harmony: Volume 2 includes forty new exercises that are written in both notation and TAB. It also includes over two hours of video instruction for four-string and both five-string low-B and high-C tunings. It’s available now through Gwizdala’s website for $30.
