A revolutionary new approach to beginning guitar, the "Duck Soup" Guitar Method was first published in 1982, and shows six ways to use partial capos to allow greatly simplified but great-sounding guitar chords. Total beginners and very young children can strum 3-chord songs with only one and 2-finger chords, in standard tuning. Play 3-chord songs immediately, with no practicing. No need to wait until children's hands grow large enough to play conventional chords. An ideal "pre-guitar" experience. Most chord shapes you learn in Duck Soup Guitar are applicable later once you begin to play "normal" guitar chords. Endorsed and used for years by Music Education and Music Therapy professionals. (This is not the Liberty Guitar Method.)

Finally A guitar chord book for the rest of us... Did you ever notice that encyclopedic guitar chord books are all tailored for jazz guitarists, and that solo troubadour-style players don't have their own complete chord book? The Troubadour Guitar Chord Book is here to solve this problem. Thorough, readable, detailed and accurate, it also has a number of valuable new features to help songwriters, pickers and troubadour-style guitarists: The whole fingerboard is shown for each chord, which helps you see and understand the geometry. The note names and scale degrees are shown for every chord, so you can clearly see the structure. Most chords have 5 or 6 strings sounding. Open and closed-position chord types are both included. Careful discussions of music, notation and chord theory tailored for troubadours who don't have a degree in music

Note-for-note, exact transcriptions of 14 of Harvey Reid's landmark partial capo compositions & arrangements. Varying difficulty, from easy to hard, in TAB and standard notation, with numerous explanations, fingerings, tips and special instructions. This book focuses only on music Reid has played with the most widely-used partial capo, the 3-string "Esus" capo, that clamps 3 inner strings. These pieces have all appeared on his recordings; all but one are played in standard tuning, and all but one are arranged for fingerstyle guitar. The partial capo opens up an exciting new dimension of the guitar, allowing sounds, fingerings and voicings that are not available any other way. Harvey Reid was the first guitarist to write and record music using one, and has been exploring its use since 1976. Capo Inventions is his second book of partial capo arrangements, that appeared 23 years after his original 1983 book Sleight of Hand.
