A must Have in Chord Book's

I purchased this book when it first came out and was very impressed ! Through the years i used the heck out of it, It was showing some wear so i found a new copy here and thought i'd better get me another copy so i would have it, also after i ordered it i also ordered another copy for a friend as he seen mine and had to have one. Don't think I could ever stop using it, Its a great book, if someonelse was to get a copy, i don't think you would be diapointed !!! Glenn from, Hermiston, Oregon

An accompanist's bible

This reference is a must for anyone who is serious about learning new guitar chords. It is especially useful in trying to find a chord to fit in passing chord runs. Just look at the chords for the driving bass note, and keep playing those illustrated until you find one that fits the song. As an example, a C#dim may be best when going from A to D with a C# lead in an A tune, but a C#min7th flat 5 might be best when going from A7 to D in a D tune. Using this book can be invaluable in these situations.

A Great Essential...Item for a Guitarist

Sitting down going through a piece of sheet music and trying to find multiple forms of a particular chord. This book has been a very great item to find that chord form that would work perfect in a song, and has a very easy layout..
