À propos de cet ebook

Unlike a traditional chord dictionary, Chord Master takes the time to discuss each of the chord types and patterns a guitarist is likely to come across. Rooksby looks at how and why different shapes sound the way they do, helping you to find the ideal chords in any situation, in any style of music, and, of course, the easiest way to play them. Includes over 1 000 chords and their variations, in easy-view color “guitar neck” boxes; chords arranged by key, by type, or by musical style; answers to all your chord queries; sections for beginners, songwriters, and advanced guitarists; chord secrets of famous songs; 20 audio tracks demonstrating chords and chord sequences in musical context; and more!
