PLEASE PLEASE at the end of every song, list all the fingerings for all chords. This would help tremendously since I don't know all of the chord names. Are they all power chord? Bar Chord? Regular Chord? How do you make these chords?

I want to play Los Angeles but I have no Idea how to even begin? Please make chord charts for every song or at least refer me to a place that lists EVERY chord that you use in your tabs.

Thanks

I was actually thinking about doing this from now on. It might take a while to update all the tabs, but I think with all the new tabs I'll go ahead and add chord charts.

Maybe you could just add a separate chord chart section? Then you wouldn't need to update all the tabs....

Yeah, but the right way to play a given chord can be completely different in two songs.

I guess you could have inversions too. It might even be worth linking to a site where you can find chords.
It seems when there is a strange (non-standard) chord shape, Derek has tabbed it out anyway.

Yeah, weird chords I'll always tab out. Alot of times I don't find it necessary to tab out a G chord for instance, because 90% of the time it's either an open G chord or a standard barre chord on the 3rd and 5th frets.

Derek has done a fine job on the tabs and I have noticed he has tabbed out several chords. These are ones that are somewhat unfamilliar to most guitar veterans.

However to a beginner like me, I don't recognize ANY of them. Yeah I know my basic chords... but Barre Chord and stuff I don't know by letters. I can read the tablature though.

Keep up the good work, and I hope you do add in fingering for ALL chords very soon. :)

PS - Los Angeles first please!

you can really call yourself a guitarist if you don't know the names of some simple chords.. ESPECIALLY if you know barre chords. you should know the notes on each string at each fret...

i've never really been bothered how a particular chord is played (ie, whether it's an open G or an E taken up 3 frets... i just do whatever comes easiest within a progression.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how you play a chord. If you play a D barre chord and Frank is playing a D open chord, it won't kill you.
