Better find that out before one of those duds are printed and binded deep in your book. ♣ Hippie Tippie: Sit with the guitar in front of the computer and try out the chords before you print them out, because some of the versions you find online are not correct at all. Look here for more cool guitar apps besides Ultimate Guitar. (gotta love American Pie for it's bazillions of verses…) Usually, if a song goes for more than one dual-sided paper, I only print pages 1-2 unless it's a really epic song that needs the whole thing. My favorite website for getting chords is Ultimate Guitar. I suggest printing everything dual sided, to save paper and save space in the book. Work one by one through your list and print out everything. I currently have 7 of those and working on the next one, this is how you'll do it yourself: Step 2 – Print All The Songs' Chord Sheets. The best place to start looking for good songs to include is obviously in your own playlist.Ĭhord books are a great way to get more fun out of your instrument and always have jam materials up your sleeve when you feel like picking up the guitar or when friends are coming over.
You can also do it all in just one sitting but you don't want to bind the book only to later find out you left many songs out. A great place to start is by looking up your favorite artists one by one – and from each one of 'em gather the songs that you want to have in the book. Start a note in your smartphone and write down your guitar / piano faves whenever they cross your mind, or whenever you hear a cool new song that you want to have in there.
Start gathering list of songs over a few weeks, songs that you want to include in your chord book. You can also go for 300 and I did it myself a few times, but I do not recommend that – because the book comes out weighing too much and tends to start falling apart after a few months of use, especially if you haul it around and travel a lot (which still can be solved by binding it again before it's starting to tear apart).

People always ask me questions about “where” I got those books and how. So, I wrote it all down for y'all, and here's the best way and most valuable tips on how to do it yourself in the most time-efficient way! So far I have gathered seven books that are filled with music that I love and they are a blast to play around with. I started making big chord books for myself about six years ago. I guarantee these books will eventually make you play the guitar more, and therefore also improve faster, because all your favorite songs will suddenly be so accessible, so you get two birds here.
Do you know those chord books and sheet music books (usually dedicated to just one artist/band) that are sold in stores and cost a lot of money? (like this one) Well, today I'll show you how to create your own custom chord books, almost for free!
