One of the main reasons I'm writing this book is to create a user-friendly, open-access resource of useful scales, chords, voicings, rhythms, etc. Although these exist in other places, they are often behind a paywall or are less thorough than they could be. An easy way to help with this book is to populate the resources section with these references.
Some ideas for resource pages include, but are not limited to:
scales and modes
chords, their inversions, and voicings
key signatures
EQing for different instruments
etc.
Ideally the resource pages will match up with the sections and topics in the book.
If you'd like to start a new resource page, create a new resource-topic.Rmd file (e.g., resource-scales.Rmd) for it in the root directory.
At the moment, some of these will be limited to guitar (e.g., chord voicings) because that is the instrument I have the most expertise with and because r tabr can output chord charts and guitar tablature. tabr has support for other stringed instruments too, so mandolin, banjo, etc. are also on the table. You can learn how to use tabrhere.
I'd also like to do piano, but will have to decide how to go about it (sheet music is sufficient for voicings, but a keyboard diagram would be more beginner friendly. I don't think a keyboard diagram R package exists though).
If there end up being instrument-specific resource pages then the resource page files should take the following form: resource-topic-instrument.Rmd.
