→Chord Charts
'''Chord charts''' are used to display shapes or voicings for certain chords, as well as '''finger patterns'''. These are similar to tab with horizontal strings; however, there are also vertical fret markers. Double vertical bars indicate the '''nut'''. This should visually appear like a group of adjacent '''frets''' for any particular position on the fretboard. On the left, I occasionally display the '''note names'''.
