There are countless variations of chords for any instrument of the major and minor scaling system. Composers and performers alike often apply combinations of chords and/or chord sevenths creating an appoggiatura and other tone effects in their music. The tabs posted include all of the standard chords through the fourteenth fret. The chord tabs displayed in the key of scale make it easy for you to see the common chords often used from the lower the fret board. From there, you can simply transpose them to the appropriate bar or other type chords shown if needed or visa-versa. Scales too are included in these patterns. This illustration of the chords is helpful in recognizing the most commonly used chords and identifying them when sight reading or playing an instrument.
