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.

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.

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.

This has a huge variety of chords, and lives up to its name well. If you are in the market for a good book of guitar chords, check this one out. You won't be disappointed.

This book is worth its weight in gold... It is an awesome resource for those who think they know it all and those who harly know anything at all, like myself.

Without going into a lot of detail...this is THE guitar chord book. Loaded with chords, explanations, fretting pictures, styles.

...if you looking for a thorough chord listing, this is definately it!

This was a Christmas present for our son and he loves it! All the cords at his fingertips. Great for a self-taught guitarist.

I love this book. It not only shows the chart, but it has pictures of what a typical hand would look like while playing each chord.

Okay so I like the book on many levels but these days it is really impractical to carry this book when I can just get something like the Planet Waves Chordmaster/Tuner/Metronome. I do have two of these books and used them for a while but then bought the PW. I still like this book for those who would rather have these things in print. It is well done. But again, for me it is inconvenient considering the alternatives.

This was purchased as a gift and was appreciated by its content and quality. I am pleased with the service and response from the recipient.
