Description

Just transform into five different forms! Master everything from basic to tension chords!
For acoustic guitar players, memorizing numerous chord forms is essential. "But rote memorization is inefficient, and reading through theory books is too difficult." This book is for acoustic guitar players who are worried about this. This book uses rational know-how to transform five types of chord forms and derive any chord. This is a must-have for all acoustic guitar players, from those who enjoy singing and playing to those who want to play jazz or bossa nova on acoustic guitar. No more chord books!
