5A Hidden Treasure Trove  May 15, 2008
It took 4-days, but I finally received my copy of CHORD SHAPES FOR JAZZ GUITAR by Dan Papaila from Amazon.com. I opened up my volume and within 10-minutes realized that this was a truly special edition and that I needed to slice the binding and spiral bind it so that I could quickly open to whatever page I wished to study. This is a most unique book; and for someone who has studied the guitar for 40-years, I am taken by its simplicity and depth. Its logic is worth pursuing and I look forward to the knowledge I will gain from studying Mr. Papaila's magnum opus.

5Outstanding chord book...  Feb 23, 2008
I have been pondering the question of "which chord book is best?" for years and this is the best one I have found. It's simple, practical, and very easy to use. Best of all you don't get bogged down with 10,000 chords to learn or follow because there are only 90 shapes in the book. I use it everyday to practice with and all the chords for every song I have written on my guitar so far have been generated from this book. It has open more doors for me musically than I can ever imagine and am sure it will continue to do so.
