Best Guitar Book
If you want to play well, this is it. You will learn not only chord structure, but how to build them (on the fly) and why you are doing so. Some basic music knowlage is helpfull.

Building a Jazz Chord Solo: A Guitarist's Guide to the Art of Chord Melody Playing 1 review
Fred Sokolow
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2005
Great Book
I have bought 4 different books to help me learn and understand guitar chord soloing. This one for me has been the best. It really fits for where I am on the learning curve. As he goes through the 4 versions of each song he gives a few pages of theory explaining why and this has made the difference for me. The songs are cool and his ability to take the song to different levels of complexity ...

Guitar Chord Encyclopedia (Ultimate Guitarist's Reference)6 reviews
Steve Hall
Alfred Publishing Company, 1993
Good solid chord book
This book is a good reference for all the basic voicings of every chord. If you want jazz chords (or any other genre of music) this book won't give it. If you don't have a chord reference book, or are unhappy with the one you have, this is the book you want.
The only drawback I found was I thought I was buying the spiral bound edition (for ease of use). This was not the case. I was ...

The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook68 reviews
The Beatles
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000
It's got it all
Here it is in one complete book all of The Beatles songs with the correct chords. This is a nice book with easy to read type and probably every song you ever wanted to know by The Beatles. The only minus is there isn't ant tab for the lead parts, but that's easy enough to get anywhere. Recommend for anyone that wants to learn chord structures by The Beatles.

Alpha, 2006
I am still learning
This is great book for me. This is for person like me who occassionally play the piano. This is not for the children whose parents yell at them to practice all the time. This is for person who owns a piano and plays whenever mood strikes.

Modern Chord Progressions8 reviews
Ted Greene
Alfred Publishing Company, 1985
One of my favorite music books!
With the purchase of "Modern Chord Progressions" a few weeks ago, I completed collecting all of Ted Greene's amazing publications. His approach to writing may be considered a bit unorthodox, or dated, to some as they were originally written in the 1970's using less sophisticated publishing techniques (For example, all of the chord diagrams are filled in by hand and there are notes and arrows ...

The Guitar Case Chord Book in Color (Guitar Chord Books in Color) 3 reviews
music sales
Amsco Publications, 2002
color vs. black and white
I think i have bought about six of these books so far. there are very clear full color pictures of all the chords and it makes learning to play guitar chords much easier than the old simple tab version you get in the black and white book. you can see what shape your hand should be in, not just where the tips of your fingers should be.

William Bay
Mel Bay Publications, Inc., 1971
A new guitar players savior...
An educational book that's been in print since 1971 has gotta be good. This book basically taught me how to play guitar. I learned all of my chords and such from it. It's laid out very clearly with both diagrams and photos to show you how to make each chord. Definitely get this one.

Duane Shinn
BookSurge Publishing, 2006
Piano Chords & Progressions
The book is presented in a very succinct and comprehensive manner, yet it is very easy to understand. If a person is willing to invest the time following Mr. Shinn's suggestions, he/she will be able to learn chords and the progressions which could cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in private lessons. I have played keyboards for many years and taken private lessons from several teachers. ...

Living Proof!
I am a full time, working musician. 5 years ago, i was not. I wanted to learn to play guitar and had ZERO experience (never even held one). I bought this book. After 3 months -THREE MONTHS- i was playing my own SOLO shows and i've never looked back. Since then (and a few more Mel Bay books) i've quit my "day" job and now have a band, a steady flow of gigs and i've independently sold over 8,000 ...

Mel Bay Chord Melody Solos for Guitar (Book/CD Set)4 reviews
John E. Lawrence
Mel Bay Publications, 2001
Should be your strating point if you are just starting this style.
If you are just geting into jazz chord melody this is an excelent choice. I got a more complete but harder to get thru book on chord melody before this one. That book was just to much for me at the time. I then decided to give this one a try and it was the right thing to do. As oppose to the other book the pogressions here are all in the light side of jazz guitar. It allows you not only to ...

A review of Vogler's book
This book is a timely resource for anyone who has to deal with chord symbols--such as is found on rhythm charts and lead sheets-- and wants to know how to play them on the piano or keyboard. It even could help an arranger who has landed on a chord he likes but doesn't know what to call it. This book has a Chord Construction section at the beginning, consisting of a review of the role that scales ...
