Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a beginner?
Yes for looking up shapes, but it teaches chords rather than technique. Pair it with a method book or lessons.
02Does it show barre chords and extended voicings?
It's built as a chord encyclopedia, so it goes well past open chords into barre and extended shapes.
03Are there songs in it?
No. It's a chord reference only.
04Will it work for left-handed players?
Diagrams and photos show right-handed fingering. Lefties can mirror them, which takes some extra reading effort.
