Chord Progressions

This book may best be enjoyed by guitar playing novices.  The more advanced players will likely find many faults in my arrangements not to mention the lack of sophistication in my choice of chords.  Because I have never mastered the frets, I have, for the most part, chosen the easiest chord progressions that I could determine.  I have attached a copy of my "transposition table" which helped me to establish the easiest patterns. Should anyone wish to change the progressions, this table will enable you to do so. Furthermore, there are occasions where the song requires the use of certain variations of chord formations.  I have attached another file, entitled "chords" illustrating how these variations are formed.    It is also worth noting, that sometimes, I have eliminated certain chords which I found to be too hard to form, but I encourage anyone to make any changes to the arrangements to complement their own vocal range and acumen.  Any suggestions for improvements directed towards the ease of beginners are most welcome.  Finally, for those players who wish to improve their knowledge of the fret board, I have attached a third file entitled "guitar notes".  I had to convert these files to jpeg form and I'm not entirely certain how well they might be printed out.  To this end, if you would like to receive these files as PDF's, please let me know and I will try to send them to you by e-mail.
