Not all chord forms are of equal value. Indeed, some are more valuable and some are less valuable – either based on the sound quality or the ease of playing. This book categorizes chord forms into three categories of usefulness, as discussed below. Anchor Chords At the front of the book is a listing of the most essential guitar chord forms, which are referred to as “Anchor Chords." The beginning guitarist should start with this section and should master the Root-in-Bass Anchor Chord forms through rote memorization. Anchor Chords are visually distinguished throughout the book by a gold shading. Value Chords Other highly valuable chord forms not included in the Anchor Chords section are visually distinguished throughout the book by a maroon shading. Value Chords are extremely useful chord forms that intermediate and advanced students of the guitar should strive to master and “own” as part of their playing repertoire. Other Chords Finally, the chord forms without any shadow are generally less useful chord forms, and are included primarily to add context for the Anchor Chords and Value Chords. |
