Best Guitar Book
If you want to play well, this is it. You will learn not only chord structure, but how to build them (on the fly) and why you are doing so. Some basic music knowlage is helpfull. Warning: You have to WANT to LEARN to get the most from this book, however IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT! Ted Green's 'Modern Chord Progressions' is a nice companion. I have had an earlier copy scince the 70's and never found anything better. (Music theroy is not a bad thing )

if your serious..
if you have the "heat" to learn the fretboard and "know" there is a way to digest it...this is your book..studied with Ted for a year..he gave me many additional "lesson" sheets that I still visit 25 years later..this book will "open your eyes" ... you will have many "now I get it" moments

a deep hunger to lean this stuff is not required .. but it sure helps alot

Good but in need of editing
This book is a treasure trove of chord theory (and application). As such it should rate 5 stars. However, the book hasn't been edited since it's publication in 1971!
That means hand-drawn chord diagrams, funky arrows, and hand-written notes (that occasionally may be impossible to read!).
At the price charged, the publisher should have taken the time (and expense) to update the work with computer-drawn diagrams and better lay-out.
The content is first class, but the poor lay-out lets it down.
It's a 1971 book, where only the price have been brought up to date.
