184 Open Chords You Never Knew Existed
On Sale
$0.00
A return to the first few frets, but with chords more befitting of where you're at now.
Standard tuning's real advantage is what it lets you do with open strings, and these voicings take that as far as it goes — extended, altered, and in places genuinely odd. Because they use open strings they're unique not just to the guitar but to music generally, which makes them worth having when you want a voicing that stands out in a tune.
A few other reasons to bother: chords work your fretting hand differently from scales, and some of these are awkward enough to be worth practising on those grounds alone. They tend to sound full and lush. And they'll occasionally hand you a song.
Not a book to take too seriously. It's for exploring what's possible down there.
