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:
“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 13)
