In this book partial capo pioneer Harvey Reid shows how even beginners can learn to play 15 iconic songs using only 2-finger chord shapes. Most of these well-known songs have never been considered easy enough for beginners, so campfire guitar just got a lot more fun as well as much easier. Due to the discovery of "Liberty Tuning," a simple new guitar environment that you can do with any guitar in 5 seconds, beginners can now play great-sounding chords with easy 2-finger shapes, and the difficulty level of playing basic guitar songs just dropped dramatically.

You need a capo, plus either a universal partial capo or our new Liberty "Flip" capo to generate Liberty Tuning, though you can do part of it with most standard Esus 3-string capos. The recording with the same name as the book is available as a CD or digital download, and shows how Harvey Reid & Joyce Andersen perform these great songs with just 2-finger Liberty chords. On the recording, all songs are played with just the two middle fingers of the left hand! Visit the "Liberty Guitar" web site to learn more.

The 58 full-color pages are packed with ideas, advice, pictures, diagrams and guitar strategy as well as great songs.
