The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Piano Chords

The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Piano Chords takes the intimidation out of learning to play the piano with a quick and easy method for playing the songs everyone loves—without having to read complex musical notation. This non-classical method of piano playing will teach readers the basics of keyboard geography, chords, scales, pattern progressions, and reading lead sheets.
