Highly recommended
Although this is quite a slim volume, Ged’s book is supplemented by a number of on-line video lessons, which put together offer a vast amount of teaching material. A quick run through of the first lesson, playing 4 string chords all the way up the neck, identifies the target audience for this book as being those who are already confident players but who are keen to add more variety to their playing. The lessons are quite intensive and the learner will benefit from setting time aside on a regular basis in order to cover, practice and understand the content. In addition to the printed and video content, those who purchase the book can also download a number of backing tracks to play along with and reinforce the lesson content. All in all this book is an excellent teaching resource for those players looking to enhance their knowledge of music, chord theory and the fretboard. Watch out for Ged’s future publications.

Pandora's Box!
This book is a revelation! I am an experienced classical guitarist who wanted to find out about other styles. Drop Two Voicings Uncovered is quite mind blowing. Its like a Pandora's box. Not only does is set out chords, their inversions across 4 adjacent strings, it presents them in the most useful chord progressions. Each lesson has YouTube videos and many supporting downloads. Highly recommended

Very worthwhile purchase
Ged Brockie is a very experienced professional musician, composer and tutor. This book (together with its associated online links) presents a tremendous amount of information in a well structured way. The material is easily accessible and, most important for me, usable. Imho, a very worthwhile purchase!

Just pictures of chords without explanation
It's just a chord picture book without any explanations. You can't just sit down, read it, and learn any theory. You are directed to watch videos online to learn the theory... But as i said... It's just a chord picture book.

Great Book to improve your chord vocabulary!
I've been playing guitar for many years and about 2 years ago started to learn jazz. I am focusing on chord melody and have heard a lot about these elusive "drop 2" chords. Several times I tried to venture into the drop 2 world only to get confused and discard it. Then I came across this book. First, the book format is great! I love the large chord diagrams, and the progressive nature the material proceeds in. The YouTube videos and supplemental material make it a great deal and a tereffic learning resource. It is amazing how quickly you will start to get this stuff under your fingers and improve your skills. It has become part of my daily practice routine. If it came spiral bound, I would give it 6 stars!!
