A part of book I

1.3.10 6th Chord

Major 6th chord is built by stacking 4 notes ‘do’, ‘mi’, ‘sol’ and ‘la’. It is added 6th note on the top of major chord. It sounds major and minor feeling, so is used on progression for major harmony to minor harmony or minor to major harmony.

Tip
1. 6th note can not be used for bass tone. If you use this, it would be as same as the inversion chord of minor chord. Therefore 6th chord doesn’t effect its sound practically on any inversion chord.

A part of book II

Pattern #2 for arpeggio (Rumba)
Basic pattern [8-8s, 8s-8s, 8-8(c), 8-8(c)]

Play bass on 3rd and 4th note for short time less than 4th note as like 8th note.
(c) and ‘zzang’ ? Play the chord
8s and ‘tata’ ? Play two notes for 8th note like 2 16th notes
Practice 1st inversion and 2nd inversion on you.
Practice from C chord to B chord moving upward by a half step.
Practice from Am chord to Gm chord moving upward by a half step with bass walking also that moves ‘la’ and ‘mi’ instead of ‘do’ and ‘sol’ in major chord

From Author Henry Yoo
Many people can’t play the piano for popular music, hymn or even kid’s song though they had ever learned it. The main reason of it seems that the teaching method is not so good. Most of piano teachers would try to teach to play the classical music, it is too much difficult and required high finger technique. But most of you want to play popular songs if you wouldn’t want to be a classical pianist. I am sure you want to play only a few popular songs you like.
People don’t understand why piano teachers push them to play classical piano on its own course that had developed for being a classical pianist. There is no reason to learn it for 2 or 3 years if they want to play only a few songs. In spite of this style learning, I am not sure whether they could play songs they like.
Furthermore this learning method is not useful to play popular songs without piano score. Sometimes we could see many classical pianist not be able to play the popular music or hymns without piano score.

The chord playing enables to play the piano more easily. You can play the piano for children songs and easy popular songs through studying this book only for a few months training. Specially the theory of chords to build is very simplified with easy explanation, therefore it will be easy for beginners or musicians who want to become a amateur or professional pianist, to understand playing jazz piano.
If classical pianists want to study this, it will take only a couple of months. Eventually anybody will be able to play the piano for easy popular songs without musical scores or chords, because they can fully understand the chords and build them whenever they want to do. After all I want you to play jazz piano without any scores or chords cause y
