Are you a beginner struggling with how to play guitar chords? Make it easy with Guitar Chords for Beginners. This book will teach you 65 different guitar chords arranged in easy fingerings and provide you with techniques and tips to improve your fretboard hand.

  • Beginner Guitar Chords: Every chord has a photographic example and is shown on a clear fretboard diagram with guide numbers to show you which fingers to use.
  • Fretboard Technique: How to correctly position your hand and fingers to play guitar chords is looked at in detail with diagrams and photographic examples.
  • Incremental Approaches: Where appropriate, some chords are taught incrementally by taking on only the harder aspects of their fingering first. This forces our hand into the optimal position for the entire chord, after which we add the easier fingers.
  • Find Your Fingerings: Some chords are shown with different fingerings for you to choose which you prefer.
  • Moveable Guitar Chords: Learn how to play guitar chords up and down the neck with moveable power chords and barre chords that are shown as easier cut-down versions of their full shapes.
  • Audio Examples: Downloadable audio examples for each chord will help you hear if you are playing it correctly and guide you towards improvement.

Industry Reviews

"It's a very comprehensive book containing chords from the beginning stages and beyond. Everything is very well explained with no stone left unturned. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's starting out with the guitar." Nigel Elliott - Guitarist & Tutor (N.Ireland)

"The information covered in technical issues for beginners especially explaining the difference between chords on piano and guitar is great. I think starting with the small  position chords for C and G etc and building up to full position is also really  important for beginners." Anthony Bierman Bmus(Hons) Contemporary/Jazz Guitar (South Africa)

"Guitar chords for beginners is uniquely practical among beginner guitarist books, in that it presumes no prior knowledge, and its  primary focus is to help the beginner get started with chords, rather than  bamboozling them with too much information. To my mind this is the best way to keep new players engaged in their learning and give them the opportunity to  progress." Martin Sean McConnell - Professional Guitarist and Tutor(UK)

"Looks fab. I particularly like the different ways of playing the A chord. The physical warm-up exercises for flexibility are also good. It is good that movable major and minor barre chords are shown as partial versions to make them initially easier, and beginners might find extra interest where near the back of the book easy open versions of other more exotic chords are shown." Campbell Murray - RGT & MU Registered Tutor (Scotland)
