Guitar Chords: Easy-to-Use, Easy-to-Carry, One Chord on Every Page Spiral-bound – March 14, 2006

The Guitar Chord is great tool and easy to use and great idea to find the chords that you need to make music

Awesome book to help beginners or Intermediate learners learn new and different cords. There's one on every page for every day of the year practically. Definitely something to have on hand to help advance your skills. The spiral bound is the best for the money don't have to fight to keep the book open or use clips. Definitely worth the money.

I bought this book way before I was ready. It has sat on my bookshelf for quite some time. Now that I'm improving my playing, it has become a frequent reference.

Spiral bound makes it easy to leaf through. Large diagrams are easy on the eyes. About an inch thick full of chords, yet sometimes I can't find ones YouTube instructors call out. It seems some chord names are arbitrary.

The media could not be loaded. Very nice book, it's really helpful and tells you specifically how to play the cords according to each page. It has a nice introduction too, I can't wait to learn more :)

Perfect little Bible for teachers and students alike

Large, clear, easy to understand images of all chords you want to play. 1 page = 1 chord in order from A forward. Great item for me.

The first thing I was looking for in a book that had all the chords in it (or at least the beginners chords) was large diagrams, ease of use, and a spiral backing that I can use while practicing chords. After all, if you truly want to play guitar, you should play chords (several strings/notes) at one time rather than just the individual strings.While this book does offer a handy guide with some common chords which are idea for new guitar player, it is rife with mistakes.For instance, I love how fingers are numbered, but what boggles my mind is how in some instances, little finger needs to overlap ring finger or ring finger needs to overlap middle finger. Are these guitar chords or the finger version of Twister?Some chords spellings have typos. If you list out similar chords, you can see that some of them are the same finger patterns only shifted up or down a fret to change the key of the chord. This is good, because if you use this book and take notes with it, you can identify which chords were entered into this book incorrectly such as there being a sharp missing or chord spellings out of order. Some of the diagrams forget to include if a string is open or not played. (I wouldn't be surprised if Advanced Guitar Chords has the same issues.)Personally, on the chords that had double sharps, I would have denoted them with "##" rather than "x" (or the musical character that looks like an "x") simply because beginning guitar players might not be familiar with that symbol. I do like that there was a double flat ("bb") notation, but it is important to tell the reader when "bb" is used, a chord letter is a whole step down (two notes lower) and that when "x" or "##" are used, a chord letter is a whole step up (two notes higher).Another thing this book lacks are indications on when to capo chords. There are some chords were you are required to put your index finger across all the strings. If you are chording with several chords at a specific fret, it would be wise to suggest the use of a capo. (See Johnny Cash's performance of "Man in Black" for example).Overall, I think if the person reading the book pays attention they will be able to mark in the book where mistakes were made.I believe the author should produce a new revised edition of this book to correct his mistakes and that he should probably do likewise with other books he has produced. I would still get this book, but pay attention to patterns and where things might seem off-key.
