What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02

Diagrams only, not a method book. You look up a shape, not work through graded lessons.
Detail 03
Printed book
No screen timeout, no battery. Works on a dark stage or at a lesson with no phone out.
Detail 04
Mel Bay publication
Standard diagram conventions — dots for fingers, X and O above the nut. Reads the same as most method books.
Final check
Know before you order

- 03Check whether you want reference or lessons — this is reference.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it teach you how to play?
No. It shows chord shapes as diagrams. There are no lessons, exercises, or songs. Pair it with a method book if you are starting from zero.
02Is it left-handed?
The diagrams are drawn right-handed, the standard convention. Left-handed players read them mirrored, which most learn to do quickly.
03Will it fit in a gig bag pocket?
At roughly 11-3/4 by 8-3/4 inches it is full page size, so it fits most gig bag accessory pockets but not a case's small compartment.
04Does it cover barre chords and jazz voicings?
It is a general guitar chord reference covering common shapes. For dedicated jazz voicings, look at a jazz-specific chart instead.
