When we first begin playing guitar, most of us start out fussing around with chord charts and chord books. But chord charts don't show you how to make music. And most chord books are only reference guides. Others either teach too many chords at once or don't teach them systematically, leaving us scratching our heads as we try to figure out how to make the music happen.

Over the last 20 years, Christian J. Triola has taught hundreds of students to play guitar, and now you can learn too. Guitar Chord Master offers a new, systematic method that will take you step-by-step from easy chords and rhythms to more sophisticated ones, just as you would get in a guitar class or private lesson. Ample instructions, diagrams, exercises, and streaming audio files are provided so that you can master chords at your own pace. We promise that when you've finished, you'll not only have learned chords, but you'll know how to use them to start playing your favorite songs.

• Learn basic chord theory
• Master common strumming patterns
• Practice the right way with technique tips and example songs
• Cement your skills with over 100 practice exercises
• Explore barre chords and suspended chords
• Find what you need with a quick-reference chord chart

Whether you're just starting on guitar or have been noodling around for years, Guitar Chord Master: Basic Chords will give you the foundation you need to strum the songs you love. And it can be used in conjunction with any other method book, by itself, with a teacher, or on your own.
