The Short Lexicon of Chords for the Guitar is a concise yet comprehensive publication created to meet a long-standing demand among guitar enthusiasts and musicians. As an expanded version of the author’s earlier work Guitar Chords in Dance Music, it presents 5,000 chords illustrated with 1,420 diagrams, including root positions and two types of inversions. This short lexicon serves as a valuable resource for beginners, performers, composers, and arrangers alike. The volume also includes tables summarizing the varying international notations of jazz harmonies, as well as charts of commonly used chords and intervals built on the root note C.
