Author Description

Hal Leonard is elated to be the first company to take the concept of a chord book to DVD format! This DVD follows up on the success of our bestselling book, Picture Chord Encyclopedia (#00695224). Beginning with helpful notes on how to use the disc, choose the best voicings and construct chords, this extensive resource for all playing styles and levels features five easy-to-play voicings of 44 chord qualities for each of the twelve musical keys, for a whopping total of 2,640 chords in all! For each chord, there is a clearly illustrated chord frame, an actual full-color photo of the chord being fingered on the fretboard, and a great-sounding audio example of the chord being played to facilitate learning. Guitar Chord Encyclopedia includes a booklet with info on basic fingering principles and chord theory, covering open chords, barre chords, partial chords, broken-set forms and more. Slick and easy-to-use navigation tools make this DVD a real treat for all guitarists!
