The document provides symbols and definitions used in guitar chord diagrams. Barres, open and muted strings, and finger positions are defined. Chord names may include symbols to indicate alterations like augmented, diminished, or a slash to notate the bass note. Numbers below the diagrams refer to left hand finger positions. The guide continues over 8 pages with diagrams of common chords.

NOTE: Remember that the chords on this chart also represent all the variables of each particular chord.
For example, “C” also represents Cm, C6, C7, Cmaj7, Cm7, C9, Cmaj9, C7sus4, C11, C13, Cm6,
and so forth. Be sure to add these designations to the principal form of the new chord you have
found in transposing.
