I have a loan of an original 1971 copy of Chord Chemistry for about 15 years now... I keep meaning to return it! Sorry Niall - one day I promise. (Think I'll get the chap a new one at this stage ;-).
This book leans towards the jazz side of things, but the theory and principles apply to all types of music. For the budding AND real serious student. Oh, and recommended by Steve Vai too!
Guitar Capo's
To multiply your Guitar Chord options, I would recommend that you use a good Capo. This will increase your sound options immensely, but don't become too reliant on the Capo. Don't use it as an excuse not to learn your favorite Barre Chords ;-).
- Capo Tips Try the KYSER brand, these are an excellent capo which will do you for life. I've had mine since the year dot - still goin' strong.
- Capo Tips You can even buy spares for them!
- Capo Tips Try capo-ing just one or two strings such as the Hi E sting for a few interesting results.
There are different types for different styles of guitar. Here's the most common one for basic 6-string work.
You can get many different Kyser Capos to suit electrics, Acoustics, Nylons and so on, so make sure you choose the correct one, They're all clearly marked.
