Introduction
This chord reference library includes all open position chords, bar chords, all the important extensions a
chord can have and a number of chord tricks and systems to classify chords.
It is the companion to the TrueFire Interactive Video Course with the same name.
Among these chord tricks and systems are
- moving an open position chord up the neck to create new sounds
- using bar chords without a bar
- build chords that have so called close voicings, which is the use of two notes in a chord that are ½ step
or 1 step apart
- the use of pedal notes in a chord progression
- counterpoint, contrary motion and melodic movement within a chord
- an extensive look at inversions, triads, powerchord triads and ways to expand them
- and finally chords that are built with quartal harmony.
You can go through this library much like you can with all the other TrueFire courses; start at the
beginning, go through all the examples, the breakdown of the harmony, all the chord tricks that are
described, the ways they are categorized and at a breakneck speed enlarge your chord knowledge.
But because this subject is so vast and important, you can also use it as an encyclopedia.
You can come back to the videos and powertabs whenever you’re stuck with playing the same old
chords or when you need to find out how to create or extend certain chords.
You can print this reference manual which will give you a systematic rundown of almost all the chords
you’ll ever need, several ways they can be categorized and a set of harmonic and melodic tricks you can
use to extend chords and chord progressions.
It also includes a 30 page rundown of chord harmony theory you’ll need to place the chords into
context.
With every type of chord and approach to playing chords, standard chord progressions and chord tricks
we’ve included a list of hit songs to help you get a solid grip on chord colors and the ways they are used
by the writers of hit records.
I encourage you to check out these songs and listen for the effect these chords and chord tricks have.
It’s easier to remember what they sound like if you have heard a clear and practical example.
You’ll be able to label chords by players or situations or even certain songs, like: the Jimi Hendrix chord,
Andy Summers chord, the Wonderwall trick or the James Bond theme.

Sample
Aside from references to these hit songs, I’ve included about 35 original compositions to illustrate how
chords can be colored, how certain effects can be achieved, which chords will work in which situations
and how to embellish a chord progression.
This reference manual does not include all the chords you can possibly play on guitar and it doesn’t
intend to.
That whole approach is senseless, because there are probably a few million and no one is going to be
able to remember them all and least of all, know how to use all of them.
This reference manual does include 98 percent of all chords you’ll ever need playing pop, rock, blues,
folk, r & b, soul, funk and other modern western music. I’ve stopped short of going into jazz and fusion
but this manual will have given you several systems to build those chords yourself or analyze them with
the extensive harmony section included. I have only included ‘playable’ chords, meaning chords for
which you don’t have to break your fingers or extend them over too many frets. This library is for guitar
players, not for guitar wizards.
This is a load of material, so take your time going through it.
I hope you enjoy this systematic approach and am convinced it will help you extend your chord
knowledge.
It will make you recognize chords and chord progressions quicker and help you find certain chord effects
when you’re composing songs. This manual will give you all the tools you need to analyze tabs and chord
progressions you find on the internet and play the ‘correct’ guitar arrangement.

keep ringing often give the chord some extra color.
These chords can used to replace ‘regular’ open position chords or
provide
colorful substitutions for barre chords.
In some cases these chords are used on top of a pedal bass, to create
harmonic motion within a certain key. Because of their well known shape
these chords are easy to play.
