Introduction You hold in your hands the most comprehensive resource for chords and scales available. Every chord or scale you will ever need to know can be found in these pages. For the first time ever, the best-selling books The Ultimate Guitar Chord Bible and The Ultimate Guitar Scale Bible have been combined to form The Ultimate Guitar Chord and Scale Bible—over 330 pages of information that can increase your musical knowledge and make you a better guitar player. The Ultimate Guitar Chord Bible will show you the most useful variations and inversions of every major, minor, dominant 7th and altered dominant 7th chord on different sets of strings and in various inversions. The fingerings shown are the easiest, and if you give them a chance you’ll probably come to see why they were chosen. There are even some fingerings that include your thumb! Try them all out and see why they work. They are, however, just suggestions; you can make your own fingering decisions if you like. This books starts with all the E chords and moves by key through the cycle of 4ths.           E /D A /G D /C G /F E A D G C B /A

The Ultimate Guitar Scale Bible is a vast scale and chord/scale relationship reference tool. To get the most out of this book, a basic knowledge of music theory and improvisation will be helpful. All the scales in this book were chosen because of their usefulness in improvisational or compositional contexts. Use this book to supplement your existing scale knowledge and further your melodic and harmonic universe. Remember, these scales don’t make the music. You do!

The Ultimate Guitar Chord and Scale Bible is not only a groundbreaking combination of two best-selling books, it is the only resource for chords and scales you will ever need. What are you waiting for? Dig in!

Buck Brown plays guitar and keyboards with The Nils Lofgren Band and Robert Lee Castleman as well as performing his own solo act. He has been fortunate to be able to play with these great artists and many others, teach at the National Guitar Workshop, and write numerous instructional books for the National Guitar Workshop and Alfred. As a composer, he has written music for America’s Most Wanted, has won an Emmy Award in Cleveland, a Bronze medal at the New York Film Festival and has been nominated twice for Helen Hayes Awards in Musical Theatre. When he is not on the road, Buck plays and teaches in the Washington D.C. area, is married to the fabulous chanteuse Rebecca Davis, plays with his son Will and their three dogs, bats right, throws right, plays loud.

Introduction To become a better guitar player, it is important to spend some time learning how to play all chords in various places on the guitar. This book will show you the most useful variations and inversions of every major, minor, dominant 7th and altered dominant 7th chord on different sets of strings and in various inversions.

About the Author

The fingerings shown are the easiest, and if you give them a chance you’ll probably come to see why they were chosen. There are even some fingerings that include your thumb! Try them all out and see why they work. They are, however, just suggestions; you can make your own fingering decisions if you like. The most common and useful chord voicings are highlighted and numbered according to their comparative usefulness. Otherwise, the chords are arranged from the lowest positive to the highest, making it easy for you to find the voicing best for the context in which it will be used. This books starts with all the E chords and moves by key through the cycle of 4ths.           E A D G C B /A E /D A /G D /C G /F B I hope this helps you get a good handle on chords. At the very least, you can use it as a reference for finding fingerings for any chords you might have to play. See you at the gig. Buck
