Guitar Chords for Beginners - A Beginners Guitar Chord Book with Open Chords and More (Paperback)

Guitar Chords for Beginners contains 65 different chords arranged in easy fingerings. Fretting hand technique for playing guitar chords is looked at in detail with diagrams. Where necessary, some chords are taught incrementally because taking on only the harder aspects of a chord's fingering first means our hand is freer to adjust. Others are shown with different fingerings for you to choose which you prefer. Each guitar chord has a downloadable example audio track enabling you either to hear if you have played it right, or to hear what you need to work towards. Playing guitar chords may seem like a contortion for the hands of the beginner so there is some guidance on stretching to keep the hands flexible. There is an introduction to movable power chords and barre chords, in which barre chords are shown as easier cut-down versions of full barre chord shapes. At the back of Guitar Chords for Beginners there is a list of suggested songs that contain chords from within the book.
