“I had wanted to start playing less with a capo, and more with an ability to transpose chords just by being more familiar with the fret board in it's entirety. This book teaches you exactly this. Highly recommended.”

“At the School of Guitar we always use the CAGED system but we have never seen it applied so well to all chords. I love the way each transposable version of the chord is linked to an open chord. Simply the best book of chords we have seen.”

“Chords For Guitar is written in a concise and clear manner that will be easy to understand by anyone with basic music knowledge. A consistent and simple approach that will prove to be a great tool for those hoping to expand their knowledge on the fret-board.”

“For those students of guitar who are looking for an explanation of this famed system of learning the guitar fretboard, in a relatively fast, painfree and efficient manner, this is a wonderful book. You will find many subtle chords that you hadn't expected were easily movable.”

“Gareth Evan's guitar chord book is one of the most thorough and in-depth books I have ever seen. If you're armed with one of these books, you will have everything you will ever require to know all about chords.”

"This is an excellent reference and teaching book for those who are just beginning to learn barre chords, and it is also very good as a reference for those who are bored with typical chords and want to try different variations and pitches of the common CAGED chords. Add to this the option to read the paragraphs on the music theory behind the chords, and you find an excellent book for both new and more experienced guitarists looking to go further with their skills and with their knowledge too."
