    I have had this book in soft cover for nearly 30 years, it is still very relevant to this day !
    If you need inspiration to pick up your dusty neglected guitar, grab a set of new strings and this book, you will have all of the chord fingerings you need for any of the alternate tunings to get your creative juices flowing again !
