Synopsis

The Ultimate Chord Reference Book for 3-String Cigar Box Guitar Players. 

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.

A perfect gift for any cigar box guitar player

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.

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.
