Sliding Guitar Chord Compass & Book: Build 1000+ Chords, CAGED System

I never do product reviews but I have to make an exception here. I’ve been struggling with triads for quite a while, but this book and the chord compass are absolutely amazing. Like a light bulb turning on. I’ve subsequently bought the scales compass. Absolutely brilliant !!

Well worth buying easy to follow and great help - top notch!!

Leaves you to figure chords on their own, but some useful hints and details in the book. The chord device is helpful for visualising caged shapes

Great quality product. Lots of information to help you get started learning the whole fretboard

I like it !

I am always trying to improve my guitar knowledge but it's hard to memorise all the scales, chords, fretboard etc.This handy little tool at least takes the pressure off of finding chords quickly and easily on the CAGED system. I think it will make a good addition to the books etc I already have.

It’s clear, easy to use and a really great book to go with it

The book does a satisfactory job of explaining the CAGED system for opening up the fretboard, but I would very strongly doubt that it's of much use to beginners (it does mention them in it's pitch). Also, if you're one of those guitarists who struggles with or just plain dislikes barre chords, then stay well clear - the CAGED system depends almost exclusively on them. Barre chords are among some of the toughest techniques to master on the guitar and take a lot of finger strength, dexterity and serious hours of practice to master. There are many people who think barre chords are overrated, including some teachers. To me they are just another potentially useful tool in a larger set of tools, but have a relatively 'high pain to gain' ratio. There are so many other fundamentals that can be learned and practiced to a high level that will help guitarists feel empowered and have fun, before getting into barre chords, if they ever do. I gave it only three stars because the information, while accurate and reasonably well presented, is quite limited, most if not all of it freely available on the internet, in some cases explained even better in my opinion. The same information is also replicated in many other guitar learning books that generally cover a much greater range of techniques and skills and at a lower price. I think it's poor value for money - probably should be half the price it is - I think we're paying a lot extra to cover the flimsy plastic tool it comes with (seems a bit gimmicky to me). For some stupid reason, I bought the book thinking it might have some nuggets of revelatory info/tips/techniques in it - it doesn't.

Si buscas tablas, esquemas y mapas visuales del diapasón de la guitarra, y sintetizaciones de la teoría musical aplicada a la guitarra sobre notas, acordes y progresiones, te va a encantar. No vas a encontrar nada más práctico.

Uno strumento davvero interessante da tenere sulla scrivania per migliorare. Prezzo altino, ma questo brand se li merita

Good quality

I found it very useful to understand and learn chords in different positions on the fretboard

Für Leute, die gerade anfangen, Gitarre zu spielen, kann ich es sehr empfehlen. Allerdings ist das Begleithaft in englischer Sprache. Ein paar Englischkenntnisse wären vorteilhaft, aber nicht zwingend. Es werden auf dem Akkord-Kompass fünf Dur-Akkorde, und zwar C, A, G, E und D-Dur in verschiedenen Positionen auf dem Hals visualisiert. So kann man z.B. Umkehrungen und auch Solo-Gitarre spielen lernen. Ich würde empfehlen, auch das ein oder andere Video zu diesem Artikel auf YouTube anzuschauen.
