The publisher should show more of the book in the "Look Inside" part of this listing and it would likely not get this negative review; because I would not have bought this book. The books text explaining the music theory appears to be quite good; but there are plenty of better; general music books that do this too. This book is probably over my head. But the biggest problem I have is the impractical chord charting. For example; I knew I would be in trouble when on page 14 the cmaj7 chord was charted on the G string with a C at fret 5; and spanned to the D string with a B on fret 9. Another example is on page 21 with a Dm7 chord spanning fret 8 to 12. Or how bout an Fmaj7 stretch from F on fret 1 to E fret 5 on the second string???? Did a guitarist write this book? I know the point of the book is to substitute chords with other embellished chords; but it would have been helpful if the author used his expertise to make the chords playable by mere mortals. If I use this book; I will probably have to substitute chord fingerings for the ones suggested by the author - a real pain.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Awesome BookBy CaseyI bought this book to spice up my playing and further advance what little I had known about the complex study of chord substitution. I was familiar with diatonic substitution. But chromatic was the one I needed to expand my knowledge on. And this book does a great job of explaining how it works and why it works.i havent finished reading this book but so far I have come across a few minor typos. Other than that; this book is a must have for any serious guitarist3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. jazz masters...cord substitutionBy PM fan......If your ready to start expanding your cord substitution knowledge then you have found a good book.You may know most of this stuff; but its laid out well and a great review...The only thing that didnt work for me was most of the musical examples..I use an alternative tuning and I just dont use the barcords and open strings as much as some players...All and all a good book...
