There are many ways to play and categorize chords and many schemes for cataloguing them. This book focuses on understanding the ways that chords are made, enabling the student to figure out how to play a new chord in several different positions. This is not a technique book, but rather a step-by-step method of understanding guitar chord symbols and the musical sounds they represent. The author's goal in writing this book was to empower the reader with the ability to play from sheet music, jazz charts, or lead sheets, all of which is accomplished through chord and fretboard diagrams, standard notation and tablature, and plain English. This book is recommended for seasoned players who want to enrich their harmonic palettes as well as for beginners who need help in conquering the initially abstract quality of the guitar fretboard.
I am fortunate enough to live in the same town as Bob and even more fortunate to have met him last year. I had purchased the book before I had met him and found that this book helped me understand some basic chord concepts for the first time since I started playing almost 50 years ago. Bob has a unique sense of humor that translates to this book and actually makes it fun to read. That's a rare talent in itself. Bob it also an excellent player and teacher as well. My skill set and knowledge flatlined a long time ago and thanks to Bob I have a new understanding and passion for playing. This book and his Understanding Chord Progression book have been an excellent supplement to his live lessons, but both books stand on their own as well. I would recommend both books without question.
