The Book  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beatles chord THE BEATLES COMPLETE CHORD SONGBOOK .  This book presents The Beatles' songs in a format designed for a Guitarist singing the songs unaccompanied, or with others.  For this reason chord shapes have been simplified where possible.  It's user friendly.  The book includes all of the songs the Beatles wrote and recorded themselves with the exception of instrumentals and Lennon-McCartney songs recorded only by other artists.  Hard-core Beatles fans will love this book and minor enthusiasts will find a new respect for the guitar inside the legendary Beatles music.

The Capo                      Kyser Quick Change Capo

 

Some songs require a capo.  Numbers like 'Norwegian Wood' used a capo on the original recordings, while in other instances ('Strawberry Fields Forever') a capo has been used to make playing in difficult keys easier.  This time we are featuring The KYSER Quick Change Capo for 6-String Guitar.  This Capo is made in the United States and manufactured to give a lifetime of service.  Customers have given this Capo a Five Star rating.  Read the reviews.

The Last Word
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Godin

We have carried the Seagull guitars for years.  I've only bought myself one new guitar and it was a Seagull, long before we even opened Gear 1 Music.   In addition to these great North American built guitars, we are also introducing Godin brand guitar strings for acoustic and electric guitars and...You guessed it.... Godin & Seagull brand straps, all of which are made in North America.  

 Enjoy the new selection of instruments on our site and consider this an excellent time to add one of these guitars to your selection of fine instruments.  

 Enjoy Your Music.  Kenny Stinnett - President, Gear 1 Music, Inc.
