Graphic Visualization of Chords

Keyboard players have an advantage over guitar players in being able to visualize the structure of chords. It's all laid out for them in black and white, literally, the black and white keys.

A fancy chord to a guitar player? Well sure, here's the shape. Fingers go here and here and here on the guitar neck. But how it's actually structured / built? Uhh.

To a guitar player, trying to visualize how a chord is constructed is tough. Whole steps and half steps. Moving up and down on a single string works, sort of. But you run off the end of the neck before you can get an entire chord defined. So you need to use more than one string. But once you do, the visualization of the structure gets all tangled up.

Since I'm a keyboard player as well as a guitar player, I never had much problem with this. But many guitar players do. So I came up with a few pages of graphics that make chord structure crystal clear. With these easy to understand diagrams you'll never wonder "What the !@#$% is a Bb-7b5 anyway?"

I've gotten a lot of loud 'thank-you's' for these. Enjoy the revelation.
