Chords for Guitar is about moveable chord shapes based on the CAGED guitar system. Rather than presenting the same shapes for the same chord types as different chords when moved up or down the fret-board; giving 1000s of chords; Chords for Guitar makes this into a simple unified process by showing only the moveable shapes and how to move them up or down the fret-board; allowing for more chord types. Chord Reference - Chords for Guitar is a reference of over 200 unique shapes for just over 60 different chord types; from the commonly used chord types such as major; minor; sus2; sus4; add9 and 7th chords to further extended chords; altered chords and inversions; enabling you to find many more chords yourself and get a better understanding of the fret-board.Questions and Answers - The root note location within all of the guitar chords is clearly marked out; enabling you to transpose its moveable shape up and down the fret-board. Each chord type has a question to make sure youre on track to being able to locate guitar chords yourself; shift the root note to its note name location (e.g. C; F#; G etc.) apply the chord shape; then check the answer at the back.Theory - Theory and chord construction are explained using piano keys for the simplicity of its linear layout of notes; then applied to the six-string guitar; from the basics of using odd numbered intervals (e.g. 1; 3; 5 etc.) to the compound intervals within extended chords and alterations.Grab a copy today!

A fascinating look at our fascination with makeupBy LeanneIve been a huge fan of Lisa Eldridge for several years; and eagerly pre-ordered this book when it was first available for pre-order several months ago. When Eldridge first revealed more details about the book; I had initially been disappointed that this was going to be more of an overview of makeup throughout history rather than a how-to book; but the more I read about it on her blog -- and now that I have it in my hands -- the happier I am with it. If you love makeup and are interested in how we have used it throughout history to define and create our personae; youll really love this book.This is a big; colorful book -- one full of glossy images and lots of eye candy. Eldridge not only looks at how we have used makeup throughout history to add glamour into our lives; but she also takes a look at the appeal of icons like Twiggy and of certain colors; like red; white; and black.The book is really well-researched; and Eldridge teases out all the interesting bits about makeup; like how it was made in ancient times and why we have always seemed to be intrigued by using it to empower ourselves. As a history devotee; I loved reading all of this information; and both the inclusion of historical photos and the retro photos added a special dimension to this book.If youre looking for how-to books; Id recommend Making Faces and Sonia Kashuk Real Beauty (which is out of print; but which is worth tracking down since it has so much great information in it; much better than the information in the two Bobbi Brown books I have).Although makeup can be used to hide features wed rather keep hidden; Eldridge emphasizes that its makeups ability to allow us to tap into our creativity and sense of play that has continued to make us obsess about it for so many hundreds of years. Eldridge captures that spirit of fun throughout this book; and I highly recommend it.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. I love makeup mostly because of the confidence it builds in ...By KattyWatching and learning for a while now; how tos and what not from Lisa... This book has a whole other approach than other makeup books from its ingredients to the history of it; as we learn how it was used in the past; how it was made and when.The popularity of makeup from the Egyptian times till today and the taboo of using it in between. To wear makeup; to apply makeup for a living has its own colorful ways and benefits.I love makeup mostly because of the confidence it builds in my clients;; because of their amazing reaction at the end of an application; for the way it makes them feel; not just for the way they look. If worn just to improve the best version of yourself; makeup can really work wonders. It is safe to say that this book deserves more than five stars; it deserves an award! Thank you Lisa2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
