[Preface from the book's author]:
"This book contains 35 professional chord melody arrangements for solo guitar. The selections come from some of the finest composers of the 20th century, and are well known by musicians and singers. The book is for guitarists who want to learn chord melody arrangements, new chords, when and how to use them, and when and how to put bass lines within chords. You'll also learn that just because a chord has a long name, it doesn't have to be difficult to play!

Melody, lyrics, and rhythm give a certain feel to a song, but chords have their own personalities that can greatly affect the mood as well. Major seventh chords are beautiful; dominant ninth chords are bluesy; minor ninth chords are dark and soulful; diminsished chords builds tension; augmented chords sound mysterious; major 6/9th chords sound bright and happy; dominant 7#9 chords sound bold and exciting. A minor ninth chord with a major seventh or a sharp eleventh can add drama to an ending - so can a major seventh.

Through my choice of chords I have tried to enhance the feel of a song. For instance, I have tried to make pretty songs beautiful by using major seventh chords. Conversely, for sad songs, I have used dramatic, brooding chords.

It is my great desire that the study of this book helps you in making your own chord melody arrangements. When one arranges a song and makes it one's own, it is a very satisfying feeling and gives a sense of pride and accomplishment." -- Robert B. Yelin
