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)
“So this
Is man; so—what better conclusion is there—
The day will not follow night, and the heart
Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s,”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The source of our actions resides in an unconscious propensity to regard ourselves as the center, the cause, and the conclusion of time. Our reflexes and our pride transform into a planet the parcel of flesh and consciousness we are.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
