Publisher's Synopsis
The Complete Cigar Box Guitar Chord Book is the most extensive library of chords ever
assembled for the 4-string cigar box guitar. Incredibly, there are thousands of possible chords with
only four strings in GDGB tuning. This extensive chord library will give you the tools to cover
all genres of music and perform all styles of music.
I have included as many chords possible in each of the 12 keys in music. There are multiple
voicings for each chord group providing many chord choices. You will find chords categorized by
note names starting from A - Ab/G#. Each note name has the most used chord suffixes, i.e., Major,
Major 6, Major 7, etc. For beginners, there is a convenient summary of easier chords and common
chord shapes.
Chord Progressions
Learning your favourite chords is the first step, followed by learning to switch between chords
to play songs and chord progressions. Improve your chords by playing through the chord
progressions taken directly from popular songs. There is a good selection of blues chord
progressions that cover the standard blues changes in all keys.
Have a look at the popular strumming and fingerpicking patterns to further your chord playing
abilities. There is also a review on basic chord theory explaining how chords are formed, the chord
numbering system, chord formulas, and understanding chord progressions.
