5.0 out of 5 stars Teg Greene's Chord Chemistry 9 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
This book is the work of a master and a well written guide to many aspects of chord theory for the guitar.

The book touches on basic theory for the uninitiated but quickly moves to to more advanced concepts such as polytonal chords and chord substituation. Teg Greene explains these concepts cleary using hand written diagrams, chord charts and occasionally standard notation. There are also pages upon pages of every chord you will ever need to play and some chords you will probaly never need to play, for example a B69#5b5!

I highly recommend this for any intermediate/advanced guitarist looking to improve his working knowledge of chords on the guitar. In fact, i'd consider it an essential buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ted Greene's The Chord-Meister Par Excellence... 16 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is a treasure, whether used as a tutorial or merely as a chord reference.

I came across this book in a very old, dog-eared but lovingly preserved form, having been handed to a friend by none other than Jazz legend and vibraphonist Roy Ayers (on tour in West Africa with Fela Kuti at the time), whom he had asked to recommend a good guitar tutorial and reference book. Roy Ayers promptly turned to his guitarist and asked him to "hand over the Ted Greene book", and the love affair of a lifetime was born.

Ted himself pays high regard to one George Van Epps, a guitarist and composer I know little of but to whom he owes much of his influence and inspiration. There are pages and pages and pages of nothing but the same major, minor, seventh add-9, 13th, 7/6 and Lord knows how many other chords in every position on the fretboard; chord progressions of every description played with 3, 4, 5 or 6 notes at every register. The voicings (or voice-leading, the highest notes in the chord sequence) are an absolute joy to the ears - I recall one [I-III-IV-V] progression that actually voiced the melody "Moon River, Wider Than A Mile" to my amazement and sheer delight!!! Fellow musicians marvel at what they consider to be my encyclopaedic knowledge of chords - I just laugh and ask them to check out Ted Greene for themselves, and then judge again!

I have since added to my Ted Greene collection with "Modern Chord Progressions" and "Jazz Guitar - Single Note Soloing".

I cannot recommend this book, the series, and Ted Greene highly enough.

By Agar
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A brilliant book for any moderately advanced guitar player... really, for any musician! This really is a chord bible, wonderfully and simply written with all the diagrams you could ask for. You'll keep referring back to it for years.
