For many guitar players, the process of learning chords involves a chord chart or chord dictionary and a lot of memorization. We believe there's a better way. That's why we created The Guitar Chord Master series, dedicated to teaching you chords in a progressive manner while you learn common chord progressions and strum patterns you can use to play the songs you love.
This first book in the series gives you everything you need to master basic chords: easy-to-follow instructions, illustrations, and diagrams; common strum patterns; example songs; and plenty of practice exercises.
This second book in the series will take you from a beginner to an intermediate player, as you learn fresh new chords, strum patterns, and rhythms that will enrich your playing! You’ll learn major and minor 7ths, 9ths and add9ths, major and minor 6ths, and more. You’ll also master using a capo.
Master all the different types of power chords from the open position all the way up to the 12th fret. You’ll also learn the music theory behind power chords and how to use them creatively, drop “D” tuning, palm muting, and many useful strum patterns. By the time you’ve completed this book, you’ll be ready to play a countless number of rock songs and tackle barre chords with confidence!
Want to work your way through the series? We've got a book bundle for that.
The Missing Method books were born out of the need for guitar method books that simply didn't exist. We don't replicate what is already working well. We strive to create something new to help you become a better guitar player.
Each book is designed progressively to take you through each lesson a step at a time. Whether you decide to use our books with an instructor or go it alone, you we've got you covered.
When we say mastery, we mean it. Each book features enough exercises and sample songs to offer variety and cement your skills.
A BA in Jazz Studies, a Master's Degree in Education, and over 20 years teaching guitar students of all ages means we can stand behind our material 100%.
