4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for visual learning types. Good tips for chord usage too.,
This review is from: Guitar Chord Bible (Music Bibles) (Spiral-bound)
I picked this book after looking through several at the bookstore. What I liked about it was that it had lots of chords and it gave you some of the "logic" behind the chord and why/where you might use them. Most other books just have lots of chord pictures laid out on the page which I did not find helpful.
Also this book shows an actual photo of a hand playing the chord which I liked. The book's tablature (chord pictures) shows which note is the root in the chord which I also liked. Another cool thing is that the book is spiral bound so that it will lay open flat. This is really helpful when you're actually playing your guitar chords and not holding the book. So while this book doesn't have 1000's of chords like some do (it doesn't get into a lot of "fancy" chords--suspended, 11ths, 13ths, etc) it does give you 500 of the most useful ones. I also like the appendixes that have more blues, jazz, rock chords. It's a good book all in all.

Best Guitar Book I've Ever Seen,
By Rich "RF" (Perry, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guitar Chord Bible (Music Bibles) (Spiral-bound)
I was amazed from the time I first opened the cover. The author's introduction pretty much says all that I would emphasize... truly designed well and tied together with easy-to-understand logic. I've been playing guitar for 40+ years and have never seen a better chord book than this one. Whether you are just learning or think you know it all... this book can help you learn more. I'm giving 3 copies as gifts this Christmas to family and friends. Get it; you won't be disapointed.

Exactly what I needed,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guitar Chord Bible (Music Bibles) (Spiral-bound)
Simple, easy to follow layout and well explained format with fingering alternatives for every chord under the sun. I'm learning the acoustic guitar as a worship leader and this will come in very useful as I navigate chord charts and decipher new chords that come my way. I like that it's relatively small and is spiral bound also.
