Beautiful interesting chords

[superjam144]

Just a chord sheet that took me a very long time to compile. I weeded these gems out of an original sheet I made with almost 120 chords from books and videos. Sources included Greene, Johnson, Holdsworth, Hendrix, Guitar magazines, Jazz/Classical/Celtic books, YouTube instructors, and folks here.

Subjective as it is, I find these usable, interesting, and beautiful.

Hope you guys can use it.

Thanks for posting!

Because I'm a 'chord freak', I decided to name these beautiful and enigmatic voicings.
Out of any song context, most of these could potentially function in many ways and have several different names/synonyms. I tried to name them from the lowest note but for several, that was not practical (they'd have really really long names).

Anyway, carry on ...

I print things all the time but i can't get these to print.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate that. I know at least two were from you!

I had trouble even getting a chord chart printed, I blame google because they realized people weren’t visiting websites just doing image searches and modified their search engine a couple years ago.

Try screenshotting it maybe?

I’ve decided to use one or two of these chords when I play until it’s muscle memory. I have a couple favorites already. Anything to add color and inspiration.

I do find that these voicings had surprisingly good versatility and are not really too far removed from inversions I already knew. The similarities to other chords help me remember them too.
