   Somehow Joe your missing the point.  A fair to middling bluegrass guitar   
   player plays by ear.  he needs no book nor does he memorize the chord   
   changes.  He "feels" them and knows where to go on most all songs.  Put on   
   Sirius bluegrass and play until you can hear the chord changes and know   
   where they are transitioning to.  Even the "off" chords will come to you   
   easier after enough practise.  Hard to replace practise, it doesn't come   
   instantly in a book.
