A Powerful Reference, At Your Fingertips

The practical purpose of Top Note is to speed up the process of locating the dozens of chords required for a chord melody arrangement.

All the chord diagrams listed are easily transposable, moveable shapes. Where possible, three versions of each chord voicing are given: top note on the first string, top note on the second string and top note on the third string.

Top Note’s structure also provides a big advantage of a more creative kind.

Say you’re looking for a dom7b5 chord with the third on top as shown in a fake book. You’ll find the chord listed with plenty of other dominant chords all with the third on top.

It’s quite likely you’ll find one of these chords – perhaps a Dominant 7#5b9 or maybe a Dominant 7add4 – sounds better than the fake book’s suggestion.

It’s understood that no chord book can include every possible chord. But with the Top Note eBook in hand, you’ll quickly find exactly the chord you are looking for or some cool-sounding alternatives– all conveniently listed together.
