NOTES

Chord numbers 1-2 are fingered the same as 5-6 and 15-16. The Dom7#5#9 starts
with the b7 of the chord; the Dom13 starts with the natural third; and the
Minor 6/9 starts with the natural sixth.
The chord charts on this page do not reflect any particular position on the
guitar neck. In other words, the first far left fret line on each chart
does not represent the first fret.
