→Fret Maps/Chord Charts
I may also use ''fretboard maps'' and ''chord charts''. These take the below form, very similar to tablature (or tab):
Each '''horizontal line''' of text represents a string, like tab. The strings are divided by '''vertical bars''', which represent the physical frets. (You fret "behind" the fret like in the maps above; see [[Basic Technique]].) The last '''line of text with a number''' may or may not be present. It specifies the fret numbers to use. Only one number is used; it alone is sufficient. All frets to the right are simply +1 fret. Since fretboard maps and chord charts are patterns that can be used on any group of frets on the guitar, they are not necessarily tied to any particular fret numbers, which is where their power lies (example 3 can be used on any group of 4 frets).
