“The 150 Essential Chords” Free Ebook

August 15, 2010 By Klaus Crow 70 Comments

Last Updated on May 15, 2019 by Klaus Crow

“You have to know all the notes on your guitar, you’ve got to know all the scales, you have to know all the ‘chords’ and make sure you do that stuff as much as possible” – Joe Satriani

Today I’m happy to announce “The 150 Essential Chords” free Ebook.

I worked hard and passionately to create a good organized, categorized and easy to read chord book.

The book contains 33 pages packed with the most essential chords for you to behold, study and save for future reference.

Each page has a clear overview and a nice layout so you get a good sense of the overall picture.

Starting with basic major & minor chords, sus4, sus2, 7ths, major 7ths, barre chords etc. and then gradually building up to more advanced chords such as 9ths, 11ths, 13ths and many more.

The book is not too big and not too small. Perfect to save on your desktop, notebook, IPad or Smart Phone to make it accessible from anywhere. Now you can memorize your chords anytime you want.

Tip: If you want to study and memorize all the chords in the book than the fastest and most efficient way to go is to incorporate them in the songs you are playing. Speak out the name of every chord you are playing over and over again. It really works!

Here’s a list of contents:

– Chord Diagram Explanation
– Chord Voicings and Brief Chord Explanation
– Major Chords
– Minor Chords
– Sus4 Chords
– Sus2 Chords
– 7th Chords
– Open Minor 7th Chords
– Major 7th Chords
– Barre Chords Major (E shape)
– Barre Chords Major (Em shape)
– Barre Chords Major (A shape)
– Barre Chords Major (Am shape)
– Moveable Major Chord Shapes (additional to the E shape Barre Chord)
– Moveable Major Chord Shapes (additional to the Em shape Barre Chord)
– Moveable Major Chord Shapes (additional to the A shape Barre Chord)
– Moveable Major Chord Shapes (additional to the Am shape Barre Chord)
– Diminished and Augmented Chords
– Power Chords
– Extended Chords 9ths
– Extended Chords 11ths
– Extended Chords 13ths
– 7#5, 7b5 and Minor7b5 Chords

Sign up in the upper right corner and you’ll receive:

– “The 150 Essential Chord” Free Ebook

Study hard, practice thoroughly, be focused and reward yourself for doing so.

Enjoy the book!

    Hello Klaus.
    I just wanted to say thank you for all the good work you are doing here.
    I`m a beginner (playin since 1 1/2 years) and your site always provides me with interesting philosophical aspects about guitar-playing, as well as inspiring me with lessons whenever I feel too lazy to do that typical scale-work and just want to give my fingers a nice ride.

    So thank you and my keep on your good work.
    You are really inspiring.

    THX
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,

    Nice to hear you like the philosophical parts of the blog as well. After all, motivation and inspiration are the backbone of guitar playing.

    Keep up the scale work! :)

    Kind regards,
    Klaus Crow

    Hey Klaus, you have an amazing site. I too signed up but have not received anything yet, are you on holidays again? :p

  15. Adam C says

    September 7, 2011 at 2:24 am

    Wow, this is amazing!

    About five years ago I had to sell my guitar and amp due to some financial trouble. I had just begun to play and was so crestfallen when I ultimately had to give up something I loved so much.

    But recently my employer graciously bought me a brand new Epiphone EJ-160E as a gift for becoming a Licensed Funeral Director. It’s been a long four years but I made it!

    In that time I had pretty much forgotten all I knew about playing. I was a little frustrated at first when it seemed nothing would come back to me but then I found your website and it’s all finally clicked and I’m getting back into my groove! You make learning the guitar fun and easy with some really great tips not just for playing but for making yourself an all around better person. I love it and I guess I just wanted to say thank you!

    hey klaus,
    ive been teaching myself how to play guitar for about five/six years now and your website is helping me loads so thanks :)

  18. Nii Adotey says

    Recently, my urge for playing the guitar has been unbearable so I bought an acoustic. My problem is how to find a good teacher here in Ghana. I started a little over two week ago and can play the C, E, Em, A, Am, G, D, Dm and Csus7. However, I’m not so good at changing chord. I hope you can help me gain more experience with some tutorials. I don’t wish to be a guitar star though but want to have fun and play for my children( I dont have one yet) so I can make a star in them. Thank you and hope to hear from you!

    Hi klaus. I have been playing for 11-12 years now, started out since i was a kid and i still didnt know my way around the fretboard “note” ways. I have been SO many places to try to learn this stuff and ur guide is THE best on the internet in my opinion. seriously.. i know the shit now. I`ve also subscribed for ur ebook chord thingy and waiting for that. Im very eager to try get those down too, thing is i can now relate them to what i just learned so its 10 times easier. Good job and max respect to you for putting this up. Simen.
