Guitar Chord Dictionary: Handy Guide (Alfred Handy Guides)

Love this so much I bought one for a friend as well, just convenient reference guide to have handy

I've been playing guitar many years and I bought 3 of these little books for my students. Some of my chord books are big thick monsters. This little guy is easy and quick to understand! If you know how to play E, A, Em, Am you can play up and down the neck without having to memories a bunch of open chords. I can play a LOT o music using these bar chords. GBYD

Very handy book for a guitaest

Handy little to have in your guitar case. Especially when you're a beginner like me and someone says like "The chord progression is C, ok, G, yah, D, eezy peezy, and A7sus2, What, in the second position, twice removed. Hey what do I know. I'm a beginner who likes having a good physical reference book for my declining memory. Good book.

Great chord book for the price!!!!

I purchased the "Guitar Chord Dictionary" by Morton Manus, after seeing one of my fellow student's copy in the first class. It arrived promptly as promised, however instead of it being the magazine version it was the 4 1/2" x 12" smaller "pocket guide" size. Unfortunately, the smaller size version does NOT provide the photographs of the 7 major chords as the magazine version does...my primary reason for buying it. There are pictures of more advanced chords but I wanted the basics. Amazon, as always, was very accommodating and refunded my money. But beware that there are few actual pictures of fingers on the frets in this edition. I am still looking for the magazine version. Thanks.

My dad had one when I was growing up and is nice to have again. Easy to look up chords.

It is the best ever. By this time I have purchased a total of 6 of these little dictionaries, some for friends and a back up for mine because I have worn it to a frazzle. Recently I discovered it has a wonderful section in the back of the guide giving instructions on movable chords. Perhaps I was to involved with the chords in first position to go beyond the tip of my nose.
