The very simple Ultimate Guitar Chord chart
Compiled by: Keithus Bocephus, Keith Powell(kapowell@ualr.edu).
Purpose: to eliminate unneccessary and tedious wondering
through gigantic text tabs.
Note: most people should be able to derive all possible
chord forms with the understanding roots, thirds
fifths, etc...

NOTE: 1) This chart was derived chromatically, however, it should correspond
with the flats and sharps notation used in the circle of fifths,
I.E. traditional music notation.
2) notes for chords go left to right, the numbers above are only
good for MAJOR chords, to get minor the ROOT, 1, should start
in the minor position, 6 or 13. The same goes for all other modes.
3) the notes grouped together ex: #F/bG are the same note, differnt
notation.
4) if any of these two charts contains errors please email me
