Take a look at this (http://www.mandolincafe.com/archives/chords.html) page. Scott has a list of all the chord references on the site. It's really not a complete list because he left out this (http://www.mandolincafe.com/pdf/pat.pdf) one and there are others hidden in threads.

What exactly are you looking for?

I like Rubber stamp grid on plain paper. have one that was made for xxxx ing out stuff, so it was cheap..

I can put the stamp on photocopied pages made from music books, that offer guitar chord grids..

print onto post-it notes, perhaps? :popcorn::popcorn:

If you just need a grid create it in Word. I never buy tab paper or anything like that.

Well I made this cause I was bored been laid-off since December. I practice the mandolin til my hand gets tired then I mess around in photoshop so I though I would make the blank template for everyone to use.

As I recall, back in the '80's 'Mandolin World News' would occasionally print diagrams of a blank fingerboard for chord reminders on the inside back cover of the magazine. I'm still finding photocopies of that diagram stuck inside of old songbooks, etc.

I really like the idea of a rubber stamp. Commercially available?
