Chord Conquering is an extremely valuable and practical guitar tool that effectively utilizes today's technological resources. This program is easy to install, comprehend, and apply. It offers numerous chord voicings with many variations for each chord. The importance of this capability cannot be marginalized because so many guitarists fall into the trap of only learning "traditional," barre, and "power" chords, but Chord Conquering can help both novice and proficient players expand their guitar-playing arsenal. This program not only illustrates how the chords are played on the fingerboard and which fingers to use, but goes a step further to include the proper sound; something a "chord book" cannot do! In addition, there is music theory for each chord showing how each one is constructed. Chord Conquering has a remarkable feature known as the chord finder. What guitarist has not strummed a chord or have witnessed a chord being played and had no clue as to what it was? This dilemma is no longer an issue because Mr. Younce's software allows the user to note the chord position, including open and muted strings, on a screen-displayed guitar neck to discover the identity of the "mystery chord." I have used numerous guitar learning aids and I have found Chord Conquering to be quite impressive. It offers vital resources to any guitarist while being easy and convenient to use.

I've been playing the guitar off and on since the 60's and during these years have become frustrated with my learning abilities due mainly to the lack of good informative instructional books and tapes. I have recently found a program called "Chord Conquering" which is exactly what I have been looking for to break through the barriers that have been holding back my playing all these years and **re-energize** my love of the guitar again.
