The only chord book you`ll ever need !
I have bought so many chord books out there and this is the only one that i have ever needed and that`s a fact. I do alot of chord melody so i`m allways looking for that chord that has the right note in the top of the chord. No looking anymore..With Guitar Chord Encyclopedia you have every chord you`ll ever need. I`m talking about 36 chords in EVERY KEY! And Chord progressions and every thing about Chord Theory,intervals,chord structure,bulding chords,cicle of fifths and even explains Tablature. If there`s one thing i got to say about this book is ...Thanks Steve Hall for every chord i`ll need!

Good solid chord book
This book is a good reference for all the basic voicings of every chord. If you want jazz chords (or any other genre of music) this book won't give it. If you don't have a chord reference book, or are unhappy with the one you have, this is the book you want.

The only drawback I found was I thought I was buying the spiral bound edition (for ease of use). This was not the case. I was under this false impression because there is a review on this book that remarked on the ease of use because of the spiral binding. So, if binding matters to you, you may want to confirm the binding before purchasing.

Caveat Emptor -- The spiral bound though smaller in size, has fewer pages (I would expect more pages to compensate for the size). It might not contain all the chords the regular edition does. Be sure to check this out if it matters to you.

know what you're buying
This book has tons of chords with tons of variations for each. However, you should know what you're getting before you buy it. This is NOT a chord progession book. It will not tell you how to use the chords. If you already know what chords you want to play, this book will help you find possible variations.
