This book is a careful study of over 30 tunings, partial capo configurations and "hybrid tunings" (these combine a partial capo with a change in tuning) to compare their value in the context of simplified guitar. If you have fewer than 4 working fingers or if you work with people who do, this is the only reference book of its kind. It takes you through the pros and cons of each tuning and shows the 2-finger chord options of each one. This book introduces the new Liberty Tuning, and shows over 400 two-finger chords in both versions of it. Visit the "Liberty Guitar" web site. (This book is not a detailed study of Liberty Tuning-- See The Liberty Tuning Chord Book.

At the beginning of 2014, Harvey Reid unveiled his new discovery, "Liberty Tuning," a simple new guitar environment that you can do with any guitar in as little as 5 seconds. Although it is very interesting to any player, its most startling feature is that it allows someone with just 2 working fingers on the fretting hand to play an astounding amount of good music. No one ever really took 2-finger guitar seriously before, and now that Liberty Tuning shows that it is a real option, it's natural to wonder what else can be done with just 2 fingers. This book goes far deeper into this subject than ever before.

To illustrate the power of this new tuning and to inspire 2-fingered guitarists to take this idea seriously, Harvey Reid has made some fascinating recordings, including the Liberty Guitar Album, that are played entirely with the 2 middle fingers of the left hand.

You need a universal partial capo or some different types of partial capos (or our new Liberty "Flip" capo) to generate Liberty Tuning and a number of other ideas in this book.
