Greasy's Easy Chords

Information

Since i started playing these cbg's i've been wishing i had a chord book. A recent attemp to teach myself music theory gave me the idea to try to share anything i learn to help myself memorize what i've learned, and give ppl a sort of Chord Book. this will be a work in progress, so please be patient!

Comment by Greg Thompson on July 12, 2016 at 2:52am: Hello,
I am very new to trying to play my builds.
Is there a place where I can find chord charts for DAD or AEA?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
Greg

Comment by Scott aka Farmer Ted on April 5, 2014 at 5:42am: Thanks for the chard Buddy. Will come in handy for playing my tenor guitar, which is strung & tuned the same. Noticed a transposed note below, it's actually DGBE, not DGEB, no worries, thanks again.

Comment by Buddy Carroll on April 5, 2014 at 5:28am: I bought a Baritone Ukulele and found a chord for it online and figured out it would also for FOUR string CBG. There is about 110 chords on this chart. If this chart is hard to read, just research Baritone Ukulele chord chart with DGEB tuning . tuning.jpg

Comment by Michel Goguen on December 29, 2013 at 3:46pm: I found something on the net that is very interesting in terms of finding different chords on a 3 or 4 string CBG.See link below.

Check it out,it's fun to play around with,you can customize the tuning and string amount,it's pretty cool.

Comment by Jeff McFadden on August 5, 2013 at 2:47am: iPad, iPhone I guess? I can't find it in the Android app store. :(

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on July 25, 2013 at 6:01pm: Try the ChordGenie app: any number of strings, all tunings.

Comment by Grease Stains on July 25, 2013 at 2:03pm: Well, I'm slow as hell Wyndell, but if you have anything in mind, I'll do what i can do post it! I've been working on a couple of my favourite 4 string turnings lately, but wouldn't mind setting a chart up for anything in 3 sting you have in mind!
