Carl Fischer The Guitar Grimoire - Chords and Voicings Book

Nicely organized reference book on guitar chords for all guitarists, from beginners to advanced players.

Does what is says

learning chords.

The Guitar Grimoire, "Chords & Voicings" is an in-depth guide to thousands of movable voicing with a wide variety of chord types. Each Chord voicing is accompanied with scales that appropriately and successfully color the chord. The Guitar Grimoire, "Chords & Voicings" is WORTH buying and studying. Though I will say that a prior knowledge of music theory and chord functions will be a great help upon cycling through this book. It�ۡ���s slightly complicated and can be confusing upon first glance.

This is a book for a person who wants to learn a lot about the guitar and chord composition. As a beginner, I was told to buy this book because it is a book of chords. I highly recommend this to any level player. It is worth its' price and then some.

This book does not teach you how to play guitar. It teaches you how to identify all of the notes in a particular chord. This allows you to play your own personal unique sound for any given chord. If you are a weekend guitarist, there are other easier books to help you find the "one common way to play C Major". But this book shows you all 100+ ways to play C major--and just about every other chord you'll need. Plus it shows you how to construct chords. To me, the first 8 pages alone are worth double the price of the book. Check out his other books in the Grimoire series to collect everything you need to know about chords. A most worthwhile investment.
