Piano Chord Dictionary (Alfred Handy Guide)

This Handy Guide shows the notation, fingering and keyboard diagrams for all the important chords used in modern popular music. Only the most practical position of each chord is shown. The position given is the one that is generally best for use in playing accompaniments with the left hand. There are four pages for each letter and they are designated A1, A2, A3, A4 for easy references.

Two bass notes are given for each chord. The fundamental, orroot bass note, is given first and is the one most frequently used with the chord. The alternate bass note, given second, is particularly useful onplaying rhythmic accompaniments-the left hand or more chords; then the alternate bass note is played, followed by one or more chords.
