💡 Why It Exists
As a guitarist, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of unusual chord shapes — especially those that use open strings or unexpected harmony. Over the years, these textures have shaped my writing and compositions. This book is a reflection of that creative journey — designed to inspire new sounds, moods, and musical directions in your own playing.

As a songwriter, composer, and session player, Michael Edwards has been recording and performing for over 20 years. His guitar work can be heard in a variety of content, including projects for BMW, Chevrolet, ESPN, and Nike. Recently, Michael composed the theme music for the TV series "Travel With Didiayer." He also releases original music under the title "Tempered Soul."
This is a very useful book containing a lot of minor and major extended chords in standard, double drop D, open G and open E tunings. Most are open chords and are not too taxing for an early intermediate like myself to play. A few of these sprinkled amongst an otherwise mundane chord progression can really bring it to life.
Thanks for putting this out! Great way to add color and versatility to the more common chord structures
