In any style, there are essentials - scales, licks, chords, etc. Rock Guitar Chords teaches you the must-know chords that will get you rockin' and rollin' quickly. You won't get bogged down with tons of details. Rather, you'll be armed with tons of chord shapes that have been used throughout rock's history in countless hits. The included DVD demonstrates each chord and all the examples accompanied by a full band, so you can hear these chords in the proper context. This volume includes: power chords, open chords, barre chords, seventh chords, other chord types (suspended, add9), full song examples, and brief one-page chord theory primer. You don't need to learn how to read music to play rock guitar. But you do need to know these chords!
