ENCYCLOPEDIA
GUITAR CHORDS
Author's Note
This book was designed to meet the needs of the beginner and professional
guitarist for @ complata and theraugh guide to GUITAR CHORDS. The chord forms
are presented in each key and are sectioned into “melody chords", “inside chords",
“thythm chords", and “bottom 4-string chords". In actual practice, the usage of
these forms is interchangeable. One might use certain “melody chord farms" while
playing rhythm or certain “rhythm chord forms” for melody or solo ploying. These
categories serve as an essential aid in memorization and in knowing generally the
best usage of « perlicular chord form. Mastering this text will give the guitarist firm
command over the thousands of voieings and cherd forms found throughout the
fingerboard. We believe it to be the most complete ond thorough guitar chord book
ever assembled.
