About this title

Synopsis

Chords for Guitar is about moveable chord shapes based on the CAGED guitar system. Rather than presenting you with 1000+ chords which are actually the same shapes moved up or down the fretboard, Chords for Guitar makes things into a simpler unified process by showing only the moveable shapes and how to move them up or down the fretboard. This allows for more chord types.

• Guitar Chord Reference - Chords for Guitar is a reference of over 200 unique and moveable shapes for just over 60 different chord types, from the more commonly used chords such as major, minor, sus2, sus4, add9 and 7th chords to extended chords, altered chords and inversions. All chord diagrams include numbers to show you where to place your fingers, and indications for what musical interval each note of the chord is.


• More Appropriate for Long Term Learning - Gain a deeper understanding of the fretboard and chord construction, which will lead to being able to find many more chords yourself.


• Guitar Chords Theory - Theory and chord construction are explained using piano keys for the simplicity of its linear layout of notes, then applied to the six-string guitar, from the basics of using odd numbered intervals (e.g. 1, 3, 5 etc.) to the compound intervals within extended chords and alterations.


• Questions and Answers - The root note location is clearly marked out in all chord diagrams, enabling you to transpose its shape up and down the fretboard. Each chord type has a question to make sure you’re on track to being able to locate guitar chords yourself; shift the root note to its note name location (e.g. C, F#, G etc.) apply the chord shape, then check the answer at the back.
