I've limited it to 100% tone chords and what should be movable shapes. I've included inversions so there's between 1 and 8 shapes per…"

Greasy's Easy Chords
Since i started playing these cbg's i've been wishing i had a chord book.

I removed top few shelves of books and tilted the bookshelf and sure enough the guitar was still there on the wall. A bit of gymnastics stood on a stool, tilting a bookshelf and I managed to…
