For a quick start, the Newbie Bee marks the most important things you need to know if you're new to identifying chords by watching a guitar player's hand.

This is a wonderful guide which will help move you so far forward in your jamming skills you'll wonder what you ever did without it. I'll be using 'Hand Over the Chords' with all my students and at my camps. This is the book I've been waiting for!
