💡 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 book is a freshly new approach to chords. Honestly, I have some problems with the fingering of some of the chords on my acoustic guitar. Maybe the electric is a bit easier.
You can find so many new voicings to explore. Thank you for the amazing work!
