i'm pleased with some of the information i've read so far.i'm taking my time and absorve all the info.

I think there is alot to be learnt from this book. An essential for every guitarist

highly influenced by George van eps music and his guitar playing sounds very similiar, also in the books you will see many esoteric chords that can only be found in the harmonic mechanisms series. some of the techniques maybe considered obscure in some modern areas of music, but it doesn't mean that you can't still apply these techniques there.

Jack Peterson and by Steve Khan-Contemporary chord khancepts

I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this amazing book and unfortunate enough to lose it a few years later. Thats why I rushed out to get a replacement. This is a comprehensive exploration of the chord world for guitatrists of all musical genres backgrounds. Every page...

contains a technique or concept that will take years of enjoyment and frustration as you learn to employ and adapt the treasure house of chordal knowledge contained.

Its a vintage that will reward you time and time again.
