Chord Playing for the Guitar

By Jeff Clementi

"Chord Playing for the Guitar" is the perfect book for the beginning guitarist! Unlike most other chord books filled with diagrams that show you only how to finger the chords, "Chord Playing for the Guitar" also teaches you the different methods and techniques used by professional guitarists to play them. The strum style, pick and strum style, and pick style are all fully explained so that you can play chords to any genre of music. You will learn how to use muted strums for percussive effects, partial strums to make your playing more expressive, techniques to make chord changes smoother and easier, suspended chords to make your progressions more exciting, and slash chords for better flowing bass lines. The book also includes chord diagrams showing movable 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, and altered chords. Many exercises are provided to help you master everything presented. Learn how to play chords from a lead sheet and much more!
