Chord Orbits: Exploring the Sound and Shape of a Chord's Progression Up and Down the Fingerboard (The Progressive Guitarist Series)

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

The paperback version is excellent. the Kindle version is unusable as the actual orbit charts are unreadable. Do yourself a favor and just order the paperback version. Whoever is taking care of getting this on the Kindle needs to update it with a more suitable transfer.

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

Don't hesitate. Great book!

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

Love it!

Good reference material for advancing guitarists. ILike Don's books as I'm really not interested in books laden with theory any more. If I need a quick refresh on chord voicing a in different positions it's there in a flash. The same goes for his Books on scales and arpeggios. It's just non cluttered

This is avery good series of books so really to get the best out of them you need to buy all 7 of them

Movable Chords und Chord Orbits sind die besten Referenzen neben Troy Stetinas Barre Chords, die ich kenne. Kein "Hunderttausend Akkorde f.d. Schlaggitarre" mehr. Während Stetina schon die Akkorde von ihrem Aufbau her und den Typen analog zu CAGED (E-Type, A-Typ etc.) auflisted, bringen diese beiden Bücher einen wesentlichen anderen Aspekt mit - das Intervall. Wenn ich Akkorde als Arpeggien spielen will, muss ich wissen, welches Intervall wo sitzt, da die Intervalle in den wenigsten Fällen aufsteigend sind. Ausserdem kann ich Akkorde im Spiel selbst "bauen", wenn ich die Intervallstruktur kenne. Und jeder weiss (oder sollte es wissen), dass man z.B. eine pentatonik jederzeit um die Töne der zugehörigen Akkorde erweitern kann. Also unbedingt kaufen - die sind ihr Geld Wert.
