''You may notice my chord charts don't look like traditional chord charts, where the strings run vertically and frets horizontally.'' I find that a bit confusing, especially when interspersed with tab. Mine are consistent with tab and how one typically views the fretboard - horizontal strings and vertical frets. It may take a second to get used to it if you are accustomed to traditional chord charts. Another advantage of keeping consistent dimensions is that we can see exactly how chord shapes and scales intersect.
