I just thought a partial chord chart for beginners might be fun to try. This should be a good learning experience for me.
I know how to get some of the major and minor chords but lets see how many I've missed.
We can start with G major. Now what are all the ways to get a G major chord on the first 12 frets. Obviously, you can add 12 frets to move anything up an octave so lets stay at or below the 12th fret.
I have a couple of changes on my guitar that I'm not positive are standard so I showed those with + or - for each half step raise or lower.
If you see any mistakes or any combinations I left out, please post them. Any other ideas and comments are welcome too.
Key:
A pedal raises B to C#
B pedal raises G# to A
D lever lowers E to Eb
F lever raises E to F
X lever lowers B to Bb
G Major Chord Positions
F# ———————3++ ——————————5——————————————————8———————————————————————
D# ———————3+ ——————————————————————————————8———————————————————————
G# ——3—————————————————————————6—————————————————————————10B————————
E ———3————————————4D———————————6F—————8D—————————————————10—————————
B ———3————————————4X———————————6A—————8———————————9X—————10A————————
G# ——3—————————————————————————6——————8-- ——————————————10B————————
F# ——————————————————————5————————————8—————————————————————————————
E ———3————————————4D———————————6F—————8D—————————————————10—————————
D ———————————————————————5————————————————————————9——————10- ——————
B ———3————————————4X———————————6A—————8——————————————————10A————————

It occurs to me now that I didn't consider the C pedal at all. Anyone want to add any C pedal combinations?

This link shows only chords on strings 10 8 6 5 4 3 but it shows how several chords are found in the same position or nearby.

There are a lot more positions to find chords when adding strings 9 7 and 2 1 to the big picture. Have fun.

Here are 2 sites worth checking out.
You should be able to locate almost any chord
anywhere on the fretboard:
Do a search on the forum under Karlis Abolins
and his Guitar Map: and...
www.clictab.com
These are pretty good programs. |

Note: The 5th fret position for a G major chord should include the first string, the 2nd string lowered, and the 3rd and 6th strings with pedal B.
