5.0 out of 5 stars useful
Very useful quick reference tool, specially for begginers. The "chord progression" explanation are no big deal, it could be more specific. A good reference anyway. :D

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be called "Arpeggio Chart"
By "chords" they don't mean "double stops" (i.e., playing two or more notes simultaneously). They mean the notes which make up the standard chords. The chart has all of the 12 notes, and the most common chords for each one (major, minor, dom 7th, etc.) Next to each of these is just a picture of a fretboard section with dots over the notes that make up...

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be called "Arpeggio Chart", April 12, 2000
This review is from: Bass Guitar Chords (Sheet music)
By "chords" they don't mean "double stops" (i.e., playing two or more notes simultaneously). They mean the notes which make up the standard chords. The chart has all of the 12 notes, and the most common chords for each one (major, minor, dom 7th, etc.) Next to each of these is just a picture of a fretboard section with dots over the notes that make up that chord, and that's it! I think charts made like this are redundant. I mean, if you know how to play a G7arpeggio, all you have to do is shift all the fingering up two frets to get the A7 arpeggio. You don't need to copy the same picture 12 times, with an indication of which fret the root is on in each picture! The only way I could see a chart like this helping with playing chords, is that it lets you see which notes are in each arpeggio, and you can pick and choose which notes from there to include when you play your chord.

On the back cover is some miscellaneous outlined music theory, but there are one or two mistakes. Plus I don't agree with some lines like "The Dorian scale is one of the most popular scales of rock."

If you really want to help your playing, I would suggest learning some shiftable positions for arpeggios, and using them to make your OWN chart.
