Conclusion
While the literature on guitar chords relies on conventional musical-theory, it discusses topics specific to the guitar (and other stringed instruments). The guitar offers several ways to play most notes, and also to play a note in a nearby octave. These features allow guitarists flexibility in playing notes and hence chords, for timbre and fingering ease. Guitarists often duplicate notes in chords, to increase the volume and change the tone and timbre. Inversions and open voicings allow guitarists to play chords in particular tunings, when the closed voicing would be difficult or impossible.
Additional discussions of chords appear in the extensive literature for guitarists.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“Human affairs are so obscure and various that nothing can be clearly known. This was the sound conclusion of the Academic sceptics, who were the least surly of philosophers.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (1469–1536)
