Guitar Chords for Composers David Matthew Shere Ph D

This book contains every possible transposable chord fingering within certain specific parameters. Every possible permutation of two-, three-, and four-finger open-string chords, and one-, two- and three-note-added barre chords within the span of five frets (which is the typical hand-span of most guitar players) was generated for this book, and then exhaustively edited. Every unplayable or awkward permutation was discarded. The remaining chords are contained in the following pages, and there are quite a few. It is my sincere hope that this work will provide composers with a broader harmonic vocabulary for the instrument than they have had access to previously.
