Re: Chord Chart Frustration
Sounds to me like the charts you are looking at or thinking about are arranged in alphabetical order, making it easy to look up a chord by name. For chord patterns of a circle of fifths nature there is that useful chart. With these two basic resources one should be able to sort out how to construct chord patterns with desired voicings for most songs. Sometimes it is instructive to look at the fingerings for guitar chords that appear on sheet music to see the movement from chord to chord, and try to find mandolin chord patterns with similar movement; in these cases an alpha list is really helpful.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
