Both a journeyman's guide to chord theory and a handy tool for any guitarist who wants to reconstruct a popular song—or compose a new one—this book explains how to quickly use a handful of basic fingerings to play any chords. Professional musician and teacher Scott Gentry explains in simple terms how chords are constructed and how they are related to each other musically. The book also features the two-sided Chord Wheel, letting you dial up a major or minor chord to find out its root, third, and fifth notes; substitute chords; relative pentatonics; and which frets you can move it to.
