Chord Orbits: Exploring the Sound and Shape of a Chord's Progression Up and Down the Fingerboard (The Progressive Guitarist Series) Paperback – June 1, 1991

This book is basically doing the legwork for you with how the CAGED sequence connects from octave to octave. It is great for teachers to use with their students as well as for any student wanting to unlock chords on the fretboard. It basically covers most of your extended and embellished voicings connecting them up the neck in a process he titles " Chord Orbits" which is suiting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for more chord knowledge.

I am new to the world of guitar, but Don Latarski's Chord Orbit book is amazing! It is organized according to chord tone and contains chord patterns that can be played up and down the fretboard. Rather than memorize dozens of different fingerings for dozens of different chords, Chord Orbits makes chord fingerings simple and repeatable. This book is remarkable!

Great resource

Its a practical book for guitar player to get a better knowlegment about how to play chors in several ways witout loosing the sense of the chord

Don't hesitate. Great book!

Love it!

I wanted to find this material more useful but unfortunately the diagrams are just kind of clobbed all together without a lot of explanation.

If you want to be Guitar George, this is the book for you.This book was my bible when learning to play Jazz guitar. Any time I saw a chord I just didn't know or understand, I turned to Chord Orbits to look it up. Or if I wanted a different voicing, this was the place to go. It is the thesaurus of guitar chords.While it touches on the chord theory a little bit, this is not the book to learn the subject in depth. Theory is not book's strength. But if you are unsure how to form a Dom7#9 or any of 40 different chords, this book will show you 8 different ways to play each.
