Inside this book you will find: *150+ Arpeggios *100+ Open Chords *100+ Movable Chords *Major Chords *Minor Chords *Dominant Chords *Diminished Chords *Augmented Chords Chock-full of useful information, including hundreds of common, practical, and great-sounding guitar chords and arpeggios, Volume 1 can help you quickly learn all of the chords and arpeggios you need to know for guitar.
