    About this ebook

    The Guitar Chords Book - 368 illustrated chords and over 550 chord notes
    The Guitar Chords Book gives you an overview of the 368 essential most used guitar chords in fullcolor illustrated diagrams including suggested fingerings. Almost all of the chords are fretted within the first 4 or 5 frets to keep things as simple as possible (although some experience with Barré chords and chords fretted with 4 fingers is a pré). 

    Furthermore, you can find an overview of more than 550 chord names with the notes they exist of (including the structured position of the notes; root, 3rd, 5th etc.), to form your own desired chords in a position of your choice, with help from the illustrated neck diagram (first 12 keys, but can be repeated after that). 

    As a bonus we give you the chord formulas of most used chord types and an explanation on how chords are constructed, and how you can calculate chords yourself based on the chord name.

    The Guitar Chord Book can be used in an entry or moderate level and is made compatible for eReaders showing only a maximum of 12 chords per page! The last two pages consist of empty chord diagrams and neck diagrams to be printed for own use.

    This Guitar Chords Book gives you all chords in an alphabetical order, so you can find chords easily. Download this ebook now and store it in your eReader to always have this chords dictonary with you at home or on the road!

      Guitar Chord Book - E. Kluitenberg

      How to use this guitar chord book

      Thank you for purchasing this chord book! We show you 368 chords with suggested finger settings in an alphabetical order. Below you can see an explanation on how to read the chord diagrams including a picture on how the fingers of the left hand are numbered. Probably you'll know this already but we thought, we better tell something old, than let you use this book with no instructions at all!

      ––––––––

      ––––––––

      Every finger of your hand has got it’s own number. The index finger is 1, the middle finger is 2, the ring finger is 3 and the little finger is 4. Keep this in mind!

      ––––––––

      ––––––––

      The X direct above the chord diagram tells you, you don’t have to strike the string and the 0 tells you to strike a string, but not to fret it with your finger; an open string.

      ––––––––

      Because of the miracle, called the guitar, there are of course lots of ways to play a single chord (every note has multiple locations on the neck of the guitar). We’ve chosen for every chord the less or more easiest way to play the chord on the first 4 or 5 frets. It might be that an inversion of the illustrated chord works better in your specific case. In
