Most students who are starting out on guitar want to be able to make chords, play songs, jam with others in a band, but theyÕre not interested in delving deeply into the theory behind the chords yet. Students often ask me Òwhat theory do I need to know just to get by?Ó If youÕre like those students, this book is for you. It will help you get started building and strumming chords with just the little bit of theory that you need to get by. But donÕt be fooled - itÕs a useful and powerful Òlittle bitÓ.
In this book you will learn how to build hundreds of chords through a simple
Ò5-1-3Ó system which I have laid out for you with many illustrations and step-by-step instructions. You will also learn how the notes are distributed throughout the guitar and how they relate to building chords. This will give you a huge advantage in learning more advanced concepts, build confidence in your playing ability, and jump-start you on your way to playing the guitar.
