Good Reference3
This was one of the first books that I had bought when I first started playing guitar. I had figured that learning and being able to I.D. chords/scales/arps would be a lot of work, but Al Politano's book wouldnt be something that I recomend to beginers, if at all; as it is filled with endless and very impractical patterns that would take advanced players awhile to get down to be able to use in a playing situation. However, the book has some things to offer, such as chord/scale construction and some very easy and pratical shapes that I actually use. I cant tell you that you should or shouldnt buy this book because I dont know what you want and it does have some good parts, but the best advice that I can give you is that if you buy the book only study a couple of shapes from each section, not all of them.

review for the the complete book of chords1
the book was shipped on time

however, the book looks like it sat in water, and smelled of mildew, the entire book is junked, the pages are brittle due to the water damaged

I emailed these fools, so far no response

do not buy anything from these fraking idiots
