Hal LeonardUltimate Guitar Chord Chart Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guitar chord reference book covering a wide range of shapes. For players who want a single lookup source instead of searching diagrams online.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Finding an unusual chord shape without stopping to search online
- Keeping a chord reference in the gig bag or on the stand
- Players expanding past open chords and barre shapes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting songs, lessons, or practice exercises
- Bass, ukulele, or mandolin players — shapes will not transfer
- Players who already build voicings from theory

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a book to learn guitar from?
No. It is a chord reference for looking up shapes. It does not teach technique or include lessons.
02Does it work for beginners?
Yes, as a lookup tool. Diagrams show finger positions without requiring notation reading, but it is not a course.
03Can I use it for ukulele or bass?
No. The shapes are for six-string guitar in standard tuning and will not transfer.
04Are there songs in it?
No. It is a chord chart reference, not a songbook.
