      Mel Bay Chord Book

      I used this 50 years ago, when I was learning to play the guitar. I taught guitar for many years, and most of my students learned quick and easy. I just purchased this because my Granddaughter wants to learn, so I’ll only use the tried and proven method I’ve always gone to, Mel Bay’s Guitar Chords.

    • Mel Bay's Guitar Chords

      I bought my wife a guitar for her 66th birthday because she said that always wanted to learn to play the guitar. She has just begun playing the guitar after all these years. She has been using this book now for 2 weeks and she has already learned many chords and is strumming away! She didn't know how this was going to fly, but, now she is really enjoying playing the guitar!!!

    • Clear and precise

      This book clearly shows most chords that you'll ever need in a way that's easy to understand. This book is an excellent learning tool for beginners. I bought it for my daughter who is beginning guitar. She loves it. I recommend it for all beginners and for advanced players who want to broaden their chord knowledge.

    • PICKER'S BIBLE

      This was THE chord book that taught all us rockers to play back in the sixties. I've bought dozens of copies since then. It helped me get my first record deal. Still works great today. If you don't already have a copy - get one.

    • Classic, Easy for Beginners to Understand

      This is the classic guitar chords book. Most of the chords you will ever use, but not in every position. Easy to read, great for beginners.
