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:
“No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him.... The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart’s blood.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
“The conclusion has never changed: the worst sort of people come here for the worst sort of reasons and put upon those of us who have conveniently forgotten where we came from and how we got here.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“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)
