How to use these pages

Guitar chord pages show voicings and chord-tone maps. Bass chord pages show the complete chord tones, E- and A-string-root maps, and playable arpeggios with fingering and position shifts. Start with major and minor triads or two-note power chords, then add sevenths and color chords one family at a time. The guides explain the theory behind each page.
