My Finalized Chord Fingering Charts

**Bryan R. Tyler** · #1 07-28-2005, 02:32 PM

You may remember I posted my first two for proofreading. Well, I completely redid the second page (I believe there was some confusion with how I placed more emphasis on some chords when played without their 5ths than with them), and I've added a third page. For the moment I'm not going to make an additonal page with extensions, as I don't play them as often as these, but maybe I will in the future.

These are all basically for my use- I put down the fingerings that I find most comfortable and usable, and in some cases if I couldn't find a comfortable way to play an inversion of a chord, I'd omit it altogether.

If anyone would like to proofread them for any mistakes or if you have any suggestions for improvements, I'd be much obliged. Here are the monitor friendly-sized versions of the charts:

It looks like you put a lot of effort into that, I would try and be more helpful, but I'm colourblind, so I have difficulty separating some of them apart. For example, that one right at the bottom, Minor Add9 3rd inversion, I can barely tell those three colours apart. Couldn't you do it with numbers instead?

I have a different vision problem myself- I'm legally blind, so little letters and numbers are pretty useless to me as I can read them unless I'm very close, so bright or contrasting colors are the only way I can make them useful to myself.

Those chord fingering charts looking pretty good to me.

Makes me wanna get a 5 string.

Something to think about I guess.

Oh sorry, that sounds worse than colourblindness. Well, whatever works for you..

Nice work Bryan!

Will there be a print-friendly version posted in the near future?

Thanks a MILLION Bryan!

I've gotten a couple requests to explain how to use these charts, so I made a quick video to demonstrate them. Please feel free to ask any other questions if this vid doesn't explain it well enough.

Oh, and it appears the originally links to the charts are outdated and I can't edit my old post, so follow the links listed in my post a couple posts up.

Wow thanks alot Bryan! Those charts really help

Nice chord charts if I get some time I will try to proof them. What I would do next of make charts of II-V-I of the chords that voice together nicely.

Thanks for the video.
