Forumite Patricia [sorry, forget her last name] has a pretty comprehensive chart available as a free download.
Scroll down this page or maybe the next, it has its own thread.
There are a lot of resources nowadays

Patricia Warnock. . This is the chord chart that was constructed as an
appendix in my beginners Guide to E9. She did such a great job.
I hear she is moving Texas. If so, she will surely. If so, she will surely
be involved in my coming second edition!!!

Anders, I have that book as well, but with all things with this sometimes complicated instrument, it doesn't have every chord combination possible at every fret, and I'm not sure he meant that it did. As an example, there's a G7Maj chord on the 3rd fret (using the B pedal) that is not in his book.
Now, not that his book isn't a treasure of great information, it is and I refer to it much, but as you learn the fret board you're going to find experience as the best teacher, and keeping an open mind (and eye) on where you can find other combinations that aren't listed.
Learn your chord spellings, and you'll feel a lot more comfortable looking and finding them. |

I can't find the GMaj7 on the 3rd fret using the B pedal?
Without the B pedal all the notes are there G, B, D F#.
With the B pedal all the B's will become C's
So I overlooking something, would you please explain!
I agree with you that learning the fretboard and the chord spellings are the best way, but as a shortcut and to be able to play during learning I think that this book is really helpful!

My deepest apologies Anders, I was mixing up my sevenths. But back to the book, there is a Gmaj7 on the 3rd fret using the "D" lever (lowers 4 & 8 ) that gives you a B,F#,D with strings 3,4,5 that is not listed in Patricks book for the 3rd fret. Again, I don't think Patrick intended the book as the "end all" reference, but he covers a great deal everyone can learn from, and I definitely think it a must for beginners.
My apologies for the error on my part and the confusion I may have caused you. |

Not a problem! It got me thinking...
I still don't really see why I should use the D pedal to get a partial Gmaj7 when no pedals give me the full chord on fret 3?
Maybe if I'm coming from a chord that has a B pedal pushed...
I will have to think this trough!
Thanks for your help!
// Anders

Anders, you really don't have to play the full chord, that's the beauty of it.
The 2,3,4,5 grip to me is odd and unnecessary since you're able to use one of the "regular grips" of 3-4-5, 4-5-6, 5-6-8, or 6-8-10. It is not necessary to play the full chord and in actual practice most don't. They use 2-note and 3-note chords. Look at the tab that is present today, other than C6th I've never seen any that used a full chord, it's not needed, that's what the rest of the band is for.
I'm I making sense, or is it clear as mud? |
