Chord Formulas • Poster

The Phil Black Posters are a notable example of what can happen when “graphic designer” meets “music educator.” Each colorfully graphic representation of key musical elements is sure to get your attention. The creative genius of Phil Black is certainly evident in each of these 11” x 17” educational devices for guitar.

Maintaining a high degree of enthusiasm is imperative for learning and captivating your student’s interest in a non-obtrusive manner.

Memory and understanding through repetition are accomplished in many ways but more importantly, the study of a concept must begin with sound educational tools that teach your students in an effortless manner and Phil Black not only meets but exceeds that criterion.

“Chord Formulas” poster for guitar does more than just show you the chords; it explains how they are constructed. It is important to understand that chords are constructed by using scale tones and the Major scale is what we use to base them on.

This graphically stimulating poster displays Major, Minor, Dominant 7th, Minor 7th, Suspended 4th, Augmented 5th, Diminished 7th, Major 9th, Minor 9th, Major 6th & Minor 6 using chord box diagrams with suggested fingerings in C, A, G, E, and D Major keys.
