Inside this book, you will find: 150+ Arpeggios 100+ Open Chords 100+ Movable Chords Major Chords Minor Chords Dominant Chords Diminished Chords Augmented Chords Chock-full of useful information, including hundreds of common, practical, and great-sounding guitar chords and arpeggios, Volume 1 can help you quickly learn all of the chords and arpeggios you need to know on guitar.
