The Ultimate Guitar Chord Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798636157847)

A Must Have For Every Guitar Player!

This book can be used as a learning, reference or practice tool to explore new chords and shapes to enhance your playing.

Starting from the most basic triad chords to the more advanced extended chords such as ninths, elevenths and thirteenths, this book uses the CAGED system to help you play all the possible shapes over the fretboard. All the shapes in this book are movable to any key you desire. There are over 240 chord shapes that can be moved to any of the 12 keys creating over 2880 possibilities! For each of the chord types there are five different shapes connecting up the fretboard that you can learn and experiment with- but you don't need to understand music theory to use this book!

For those interested in the theory side of things this book explains how chords are formed and how to harmonise the major scale up to the 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th degree.

Downloadable Video & Audio

This book contains over 240 useful chord shapes and that's just for one key! Moving these shapes to all twelve keys creates over 2800 chords! Using the CAGED system every chord family has five recommended shapes that connect across the whole fretboard.
