What are the notes of an F11 chord? ** What's the 3rd of an Ab chord? ** What are the notes in an E7b5b9 chord?

[b]For a quick and easy answer, here's a handy reference booklet that will fit in your guitar case (same size as my Slide Rules book) ... and it's all in alpha numerics ... no music reading needed. Includes charts for keys of C, C#, Db, D, Eb, E, F, F#, Gb, G, Ab, A, Bb, B.

Andy, I don't think I ever saw your "sliderules" book. Sorry I missed that.

I'm waiting for a delivery date from the printer but I would guess somewhere around mid March - possibly earlier.

Hi Bill,
Please go to:

Chord Construction should be available in around 2 weeks. The website isn't set up for that book yet but it will cost $10.95 + shipping. I'll post when I'm taking orders. Thanks!

Thanks! It's the basic stuff we all need from time to time. I had a dog eared little booklet from a long out of business 1960s publisher that had used the alpha numeric format and I found it really handy and fast to look up chordal notes over the years. What it didn't have was the scale steps too, which are critical. It also was poorly designed graphically so I came up with what I thought was an improved layout and way to organize the content.
