 A chord a day keeps the repetitiveness away... Just one good reason to get into them more, but many players find that a good understanding of chord basics and beyond, can also catapult soloing skills forward.

Chord Reference Books

The Guitar Chord Wheel Book is an excellent guitar chord reference which will serve all players well for life, and includes a "wheel" which lets you transpose (change) the chords to any key instantly - useful tool.

I have a loan of an original 1971 copy of Chord Chemistry for about 15 years now... I keep meaning to return it! Sorry Niall - one day I promise. (Think I'll get the chap a new one at this stage ;-).

This book leans towards the jazz side of things, but the theory and principles apply to all types of music. For the budding AND real serious student. Oh, and recommended by Steve Vai too!

Guitar Capo's

To multiply your Guitar Chord options, I would recommend that you use a good Capo. This will increase your sound options immensely, but don't become too reliant on the Capo. Don't use it as an excuse not to learn your favorite Barre Chords ;-).

  • Capo Tips Try the KYSER brand, these are an excellent capo which will do you for life. I've had mine since the year dot - still goin' strong.
  • Capo Tips You can even buy spares for them!
  • Capo Tips Try capo-ing just one or two strings such as the Hi E sting for a few interesting results.

There are different types for different styles of guitar. Here's the most common one for basic 6-string work.

 Guitar Chords Roundup

I reckon there's enough in these reference books to keep you going for ages. Keep slowly adding more and more chords to your arsenal, but make sure to learn the relationships between each them. The quickest way to learn is to approach it this way, and don't try to remember 1,000's of chords in a Parrot fashion.

It's better to know a few chords and how to use them, than to spend years learning a load of unrelated ones - easier and much quicker. Any chord questions please contact UniGTR+
