This PDF shows the common 4-note (7th type) chords with the Root on 6th string, 5th string, and 4th string. There are no extensions (9ths, for example) and no inversions here — just the basic forms. Good stuff to know, for Jazz and beyond. As Dr. Bronner might say: Transpose! Transpose! OK!

This book is written with intermediate-level guitarists in mind — specifically, those who are interested in jazz repertoire and jazz harmony, and who want to develop their accompaniment skills. Most of the lessons in this book are presented via etudes based on well-known jazz tunes — such as “Beautiful Love” and “Straight, No Chaser.”
