I don't really understand why one should use this method instead of ordinary notation...?

[KudzuRunner]

I'm not sure what you mean by ordinary notation. Do you mean I, IV, V, instead of specifically named chords--C, F, G? If so, the reason is that harp players, virtually alone among instrumentalists, have the luxury of changing keys simply by changing instruments. So the former set of symbols is particularly useful.

Great work, Adam, thank you. To study, practice and rehearse this stuf I've found very useful the Band-in-a-box type of software, do you know it? I strongly recommend it to everybody.

[KudzuRunner]

No, I don't. Can you give me a URL? I'll check it out.

Hi from turkey. you are good teacher mate.

[mishakopanov]

Просто класс! Great! Thank you

[wajang1000]

Excellent lesson. Very aptly and capably demonstrated. People who don't understand the I/IV/V formula need to take a basic course in music theory.
