Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A jazz chord reference for guitar — diagrams to look up and apply. Best for players who already read chord charts and want more voicings.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Guitarists moving from open chords into jazz voicings
  • Comping in a combo and needing alternate fingerings fast
  • Keeping a bench reference next to the music stand

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • First-time players who don't know basic chord shapes yet
  • Anyone wanting structured lessons — this is a lookup reference
  • Bass, ukulele or keyboard players; the shapes are guitar-specific

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Alfred Jazz Guitar Chord Bible Book construction detail

Detail 01

Chord bible / dictionary format

Organized by root and chord type for lookup. You bring the song; it supplies the fingering.

Detail 02

Jazz-focused chord set

Leans on extended and altered voicings — sevenths, ninths, thirteenths — rather than open-position beginner shapes.

Detail 03

Print book

Diagrams on paper, so it stays open on a stand and needs no screen or device.

Detail 04

Guitar-specific

Fretboard diagrams assume standard six-string tuning; shapes won't transfer to other instruments.

Detail 05

$25.99

Reference-book pricing. It replaces chord lookups, not a teacher or a method course.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01You need to read chord diagrams already — nothing here teaches notation
  2. 02A reference, not a course: no lesson sequence to follow
  3. 03Guitar, picks and a stand are all separate

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this teach me jazz guitar?

No. It gives you the chord shapes. Learning how to voice-lead, comp and build progressions with them comes from a method book or a teacher.

02Do I need to read music?

Not standard notation. You do need to read chord diagrams — the grid showing which finger goes on which fret and string.

03Does it include audio or video?

It's sold as a print book. If you want to hear the voicings, plan on playing them yourself or finding audio separately.

04Is it useful outside jazz?

Yes. Extended and altered chords show up in soul, R&B, bossa and pop, so the voicings carry over anywhere those harmonies appear.
