The attached jpg is a chord layout of the entire range of Majors and 7ths. I did this for my own use as a practice tool and figured others might find it useful as well. My objective was to learn all of these chords so that I would have a good core of chords to work outward from. In choosing the paticular chords I had two primary objectives which have been met in this layout.
Each Chord in the colection use all 8 strings of the mandolin.
Chords are postioned af close to the head end of the mandolin as possible.
These objectives have been met but I ask the experienced folks for suggested alternatives (preferably meeting the same criteria) that may be better as a starter chord and the reason why it would be better.
If it makes sense then I will edit the graphic and republish it here.
About the graphic.. You should be able to load this up in any program that support displaying JPG images and print it. It is formatted as a 8.5x11 document in standard printer resolution. Hopefully this will print fine for anyone that needs to print it out.
Your comments welcomed and Enjoy!
