- Introduction to the book by "Almanac of Guitar Voice Leading Vol 1" Mick Goodrick. How to think of chords as voice leading rather than voicings.
I bought all three books at the time they came out. Vol. 2 has the same layout as Vol. 1, but the voicings are 3 and 4-part 4ths, and spread clusters, which replace the 5th degree with the 2nd/9th. Some of those are really nice. Vol.3 is a bit different from the first two. Some of the chapters look at different implications or applications of the material from the first two volumes, (including filling in leaps with melodic steps, as you were hinting at), and elsewhere are chapters that take something of a completist approach to, say, all possible chords with a D in the soprano. There are chapters on chromatic movement, and he also gives examples in harmonic major and hungarian minor. I feel fortunate to have all three volumes, and wish they were still in print for others to purchase.
Wow that sounds like a lifetime of work!
@@Mikkokosmos or several!
Excellent lesson man! Thanks for posting.
I'm liking your channel more and more. Beautiful guitar playing, and such a relaxed straightforward approach. I wish you'd been around when I was younger. Better late than never, I guess. Thanks.
Oh, and your 'jokes' don't go unnoticed.
Yes, I just attended a Julian Lage masterclass and Brough to me my classical and spanish guitar younger days, so musical and nutritious. thanks for running thought this material I got my copy . Feliz Navidad
Thanks Mikko, Not referring just to this video but you have a nice touch on the guitar, and you phrase beautifully.
Thank you 🙂
Hope to see more lessons from this concepts, thank you so much new suscriber!
Lesson on similar topic coming up this Friday 😎👍
I have a copy bought many years ago. Its a monster book. 👌🏻 in your first example you are referring to page of Cycle 4 C major which is back of page 1. Strangely, there are no page numbers in the book.
Thank for post, nice lesson, could you demonstrate how to use this type of cycles on some tune or similar...cause I find that they are very logical but cant 'incorporate' them into improvising...also you very good videos, thank yoy for all of this
Thanks, yes that's a good idea I'll think about that.
you can find a pdf of the first edition online, but ive had no luck woth volume 2 or physical copies
Great job, Mikko. Mick Goodrick was my teacher at Berklee.
Wow that must have been interesting! He is the Yoda of Jazz guitar 😎👍
@@Mikkokosmos Yes, a very cool guy too!
@@Mikkokosmos You are correct. His voice leading exercises are incredibly "musical". When I'd ask him "when did you compose this?" He replied "five seconds ago. You can do the same".
Hyvä video!
Hello Mikko. I'm having a hard time understanding the directions of how to even use this book. What do the arrows mean and also under intervallic voice leading it says 2nd and 2nd and then 3rd. Then there is the "c.t." What does this all mean?
The arrows indicate how the voices move. For example first page: the fifth of the C moves down a second and becomes the 3rd of the next chord etc etc. C.t means in not moving so I'm guessing it means "common tone"
I have been searching out these Almanacs for well over a decade. The best I could come up with were 3 or 4 pages from Scribd. They are next to impossible to find. I personally have scanned out of print books to share with guitarists and other musicians at no cost. It would be great to get a copy (PDF files) of these volumes. I was waiting for another edition to be printed, but I honestly don't think that will ever happen. I would be more than happy to share what I have (only out of print material...if it's still in print I believe in supporting the artists by buying a copy). "A System of Tonal Convergence for Improvisors, composers, and Arrangers" by guitarist Ted Dunbar is a fantastic work of pedagogical prowess. I saw it mentioned a couple of places...but they are incomplete. Only the scales are listed. None of the written words on the cocepts and the musical examples were incuded. Trey from Phish studied this extensively with the late Mr. Dunbar. Anyhow I have the whole volume and would be willing to scan and share + more. ....for maybe any one of the Almanacs. The 2nd and 3rd sound really great...But vol.1 is good to start with I guess. 🎼🎶🎵✌☺
Brother, can you sent me the pdf's of vol 1,2,3
Did you ever scan? I'd love to have pdf's of these
Hey Mikko. Thanks for the lesson, very much appreciated! I wanted to ask about the guitar you are using. I love the tone on that Godin. What is the exact model?
Thanks 😃 that is the Godin Multiac Grand Concert SA (stands for synth acess) it has the same neck as a classical guitar. Very nice 😃👍
Your channel is very dangerous - I’ve already bought a bunch of books. 😀 Great content
Haha sorry about that 😋
Do you have the ISBN number,?? To that book? (That's hard to find?)
Thank you so much!!!

I have all three volumes in pdf. Great stuff
I'm so jealous 😭
@@Mikkokosmos I can send vol 2 and 3 to you at a reasonable price just to offset what I paid for them if you are interested
@@philipbrown2225 Yes for sure I can PayPal you. I don't see your email on here? mine is mikkohilden@yahoo.se
@@Mikkokosmos your email isn't working .Is .se correct? im at rhinebeckacupuncture@mac.com
I would love to get a copy of the 3 books in PDF off you, happy to pay you something for them cheers Chris.
Just to clarify that at 2:30 you are playing the circle of 4ths and the progression would be C - F - Bb - Eb. I must track down Mick's dyad book which was released last year I think.
in diatonic way...C-F-Bm-Em-Am-Dm-G
im sitting here staring at a circle of 5ths chart and cant figure out why he played the chords he played :)
i'm sorry to bother you but i would like to ask you another question... i don't know if you have already said it in your video, but can you explain the difference write in the books, between INTERVALLIC VOICE-LEADING and FUNCTIONAL VOICE-LEADING?
Intervallic means that for example: the 5th of the first chord goes down a second. Functional means that the 5th becomes the 3rd of the next chord. Two different ways of thinking of the same thing
@@Mikkokosmos perfect! thank you man! did you study the book number 3? There is a part called STUFF TO DO WITH 3-PART CHORDS which is a very complicated! Nine that goes to the third passages , close with p.t., can you do a video with these exercises?
@@francescodifilippo613 No I have never seen book three or the second one :( :( :(
Hi, in the book i found the acronym c.t.? What does it mean?
I don't know what the acronym stands for but it means that the voice is not moving, right?
@@Mikkokosmos yes
@@francescodifilippo613 maybe it just means common tone? :D
@@Mikkokosmos see it right away would've been too obvious. :D
I have digital copies of all 3 for cheap.
Hi Mikko,
Thanks for sharing. I think you mistakenly identified the chord progression when you said it's "the circle of fifths". The chord progression ( or "cycle" as Mick calls them ) in this exercise is: C, F, Bdim, Emi, Ami, Dmi, G. It would be helpful to put that clearly. If you look at the page when he holds it up, you can see that. Love the voice leading.
Thanks for the input. Yes I think it was a language thing. In Swedish this very common progression is called something like "walk of fifths" and in the moment I translated it to circle of fifths. Hopefully people understand what I mean regardless 👀
If the book is unavailable in the official sale
and you have to pay ridiculous amounts for some copies somewhere
could you make a PDF version for a new generation of students?
(it will not be piracy if you do not make money on it, piracy means taking advantage of someone else's property).
The book is protected by copyright.
and who protect us/students
agains unawareness and exaggerated prices? ;)
They have rights but they do not use it to issue re-editions
so that we do not have knowledge,they money.

Have you worked much with close voicings as arpeggios? I have been recently working out these arpeggios in each position. Please view my video demonstration with bass accompaniment : ua-cam.com/video/-VD87At2YEI/v-deo.html.
now its more than $300
wawawa Guitarist Shouta 😮🤤
I have no idea what your talking about.
I berely do myself sometimes 🙄
