» Author's Note This book was designed to meet the needs of the beginner and professional guitarist for a complete and thorough guide to GUITAR CHORDS. The chord forms are presented in each key and are sectioned into “melody chords”, “inside chords", “thythm chords", and “bottom 4-string chords". In actual practice, the usage of these forms is interchangeable. One might use certain “melody chord forms” while playing rhythm or certain “rhythm chord forms” for melody or solo playing. These categories serve as an essential aid in memorization and in knowing generally the best usage of a particular chord form. Mastering this text will give the guitarist firm command over the thousands of voicings and chord forms found throughout the fingerboard. We believe it to be the most complete and thorough guitar chord book ever assembled. William Bay 1234567890 Copyright 1971 Mel Bay Publications, Inc. International Copyright Secured Printed in U.S.A.
