Where did the chords in this compilation come from?
They came from a variety of sources, including Phillip J. Facoline's Ultimate Guitar Chord Chart II. Additionally, a number of common barre (or bar) chord patterns were expanded over a full octave with a computer program. All of the chord patterns were computer checked against the corresponding chord name. Chords that included invalid notes were corrected or discarded. Chords that were missing a few required or optional notes were not discarded, but the missing note(s) are flagged with a red zero in the Notes table.
How does the new Restructured Chord Finder differ from the old Chord Finder?
The new Chord Finder pages includes all the same information as the old one, but it is displayed differenly. The old Chord Finder
pages were comprised of three frames, and the chord patterns were displayed in one of the frames. The new system
doesn't use frames, and the chord patterns are displayed in a pop-up window.
Pop-up blockers normally allow this type of pop-up, but if the chord pattern window does not appear when you click on a chord name, try holding
down the Ctrl key while clicking on the chord name. If that does not work, check your browser settings and/or stand-alone pop-up blocker settings.
In the new system, a chord pattern can be printed just like any other
browser window. Depending on your browser, you can print the chord pattern by right-clicking in the pop-up window and selecting
Print from the pop-up menu, or by clicking the menu button in the window header, and selecting Print from the drop-down menu.
Hint: If your browser has a Print Preview option, select it to customize the print-out (zoom larger or smaller, include or exclude the
background, etc.).
A new chord pattern window will pop up each time you select a chord, so it is a good idea to close these windows when you no
longer need them.
