GUITAR CHORD

Maybe I'm too musically ambitious, but I want to be able to know how to play any guitar chord. I assume there must be some system that once known, makes it easy to construct any chord shape you want. So it's not difficult for somebody who knows how to play guitar to an advanced level to create any inversion of chord that's required. Right now, I admit I do not know the secret of how to play any guitar chord. In my school music lesson I was hoping I would't be asked anything by the teacher that related to guitar chords, chord harmony or chord construction.

I wasn't lucky, she asked me to play and I told her I don't know how to play any guitar chord. She was surprised as she had heard that I wanted to learn how to play guitar. She soon realised I had only studied very basic theory and even more basic guitar techniques.Other students started to laugh at me so I asked the teacher to play a guitar chord since she was so clever. She suddenly became very shy and admitted she too didn't know how to play any guitar chord. I couldn't believe it, a school music teacher who knew no guitar chords! She was a music teacher and really didn't know how to play any guitar chord? I realised that her musical knowledge was very general and definitely not guitar specific.

I read an article in a guitar magazine about Nile Rogers who claimed he had mastered at least 40 shapes of every chord! The only guitarist who passed this chord knowledge on to me was the amazing walking 1-man guitar institute. A guy by the name of John Mizarolli. He even showed me chord mapping of harmony not even in the Guitar Institutes yet! It's amazing that a guitarist like John is not a superstar. In my opinion he's the master of rhythm guitar in the Hendrix and Nile Rogers style!
