There are 24 examples, with two in each of the twelve keys. Each example is denoted by a number corresponding to the starting key in clock notation, and a sign, plus or minus, corresponding to the direction of the first root movement. Thus, the first example, 1+, starts in A (1 in clock notation), and moves up one semitone to Bb. A bass line is included, using notes from the triads (1-3-5) and occasionally the 6th, which makes a minor 7 sound. The function of each bass note is indicated as a number (1, 3, 5, or 6) above the staff. All examples are in 4/4 and consist of four bars, repeating the two chords once. Thus, the triads making up the 1+ example are A-Bb-A-Bb. All examples can be played with a pick only, without having to pluck the strings with the right hand fingers.
