The "Guitar Grimoire Chord Encyclopedia" would keep you busy and show you how the chords are formed.

http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Grimoire-C ... 381&sr=8-1

Or..

you could

1. Learn ALL the notes on the neck
2. Study the circle of fifths
3. Learn how chords are formed and the different types.

and construct them yourself when you come across them!

Anyway, that should be a goal of any guitarist..I still recommend the Guitar Grimoire, bloat and all.

The entire Guitar Grimoire Series is excellent!

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

You got your self a CTM, planet waves, chordmaster (thousands of em) , strobe thru floor tuner, and metronome all in one badass small pedal.
I strongly recomend this, tune up, check your chord and go.

Another choice would be "Mel Bay's Deluxe Encyclopedia of Guitar Chords". It's a classic that's been around for decades.

Not sure how slow you internet connection is but you might want to try http://chordfind.com/ if you haven't already. It's pretty complete, though I've managed to stump it a few times.

TRJ,GET THIS DVD RHYTHEM GUITAR BY BRUCE BUCKINGHAM IT IS UNDER THE MUSICICINS INSTITUTE SERIES. I WOULD GIVE THIS DVD AS HIGH A RATING AS YOU COULD GIVE. IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO LEARN CHORDS USING THE CAGED SYSTEM AND MAKING ALL THE MINOR ,MAJOR,7THS,DIMINISHED,AUGMENTED INVERSIONS ALL OVER THE NECK.AND THEN USUNG THEM IN ALL STYLES FROM HENDRIX TYPE PROGRESSIONS TO JAZZ.I HAVE BEEN PLAYING A LONG TIME AND GOT THIS FOR MY SON AND USED TO WATCH IT MORE THAN HIM.ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS TO BROADEN THEIR CHORD KNOWLEDGE AND RHTHEM CHOPS SHOULD PICK THIS UP

I never knew this site existed. Excellent site. Thanks
