Jump Start Method for Guitar
There are easily over a thousand different chord variations that can be played on the guitar and many guitarists have spent months, years - even a lifetime - learning them the hard way by trying to memorize chord charts or shapes.
But trying to build an extensive chord vocabulary through memorization alone is a bit like trying to memorize the answer
to every math problem you might encounter without learning how to add, subtract, multiply or divide.
This book will show you how to turn a few basic formulas into hundreds of different chords. You’ll learn simple rules
and
concepts that you can put to use immediately to jump start your guitar playing and that
you can continue to build on as your skills and playing progress.

Jump Start Method for Guitar
Most students who are starting out on guitar want to be able to make chords, play songs, jam with others in a band, but they’re not interested in delving deeply into the theory behind the chords yet. Students often ask me “what theory do I need to know just to get by?” If you’re like those students, this book is for you.
Jump Start Method for Guitar will help you get started building and strumming chords with just the little bit of theory that you need to get by. But don’t be fooled - it’s a useful and powerful “little bit”. In this book you will learn how to build hundreds of chords through a simple “5-1-3” system which I have laid out for you with many illustrations and step-by-step instructions. You will also learn how the notes are distributed throughout the guitar and how they relate to building chords. This will give you a huge advantage in learning more advanced concepts, build confidence in your playing ability, and jump-start you on your way to playing the guitar.
