Summary of This Book
"Quick - what's that chord?" This reference guide is designed to immediately answer the question every guitarist asks, whether working on a piece, accompanying a singer, or building a progression. You will find a dense collection of chord diagrams, organized to cover all keys and help you quickly identify a playable position on the fretboard.
Beyond a simple dictionary, the book offers multiple voicings per chord to explore different positions, inversions, and harmonic colors. It is an excellent tool to enrich your accompaniments, find smoother alternatives in transitions, or adapt your chords according to the register and tessitura of an arrangement.
The content also includes useful music theory references for chord construction: helping you better understand the logic of intervals, recognize chord qualities (major, minor, sevenths, etc.), and gain autonomy to build your own positions. An ideal companion to progress in harmony while maintaining a very practical, playing-focused approach.
