This guitar chord book represents the largest and most highly organized and useful collection of chords yet published. Each chord type has five levels of organization: 1) Common Voicings (This is where you'll find shapes than are both relatively easy to play and sound good.) 2) Drop 2" voicings, 3) Chords organized by the lowest sounding note. This section covers all inversions. 4) Chords organized by the highest note. This is very useful when you're looking for a chord to harmonize a melody note. 5) Chords which span 5 or more frets - ""stretchy forms."" All forms are moveable and can be applied to any key. This is not your typical ""chords-by-key"" chord book; it is much more comprehensive in scope. Complete instructions on how to best use this book are included in the introduction.

This is a tried and true must-have book for the guitarist who wishes to learn commonly used barre chords, chord structure, the similarities and relationships of one chord to another, and most importantly, the locations of notes on the fretboard.
