I tuned my new (very old) Gibson Consolette D8 in C6 and E9 and I try to figure all the chord shapes available, minor, major, 9th, ect..
I write them on a paper but its a total mess!
Anyone know where I can find chord charts for these tuning?
Thank you! |

Thats the chords I found in C6, please let me know what you think. I will add chords to my collection every time I will see a new one. I will eventually do the same things in E9.

The format that I've found most helpful is the one used in the looknohands.com link that CrowBear listed above. Rather than showing a set of tab choices for a chord, it shows where the chord's notes are located on the fretboard. I've found this more useful than listing specific chord tabs -- there are just too many possibilities to tab them all out. But of course you should use whatever works best for you. The looknohands.com is only a 6-string chart, but there are other sites that let you extend it to 8 strings. There have been a few other "chord chart" discussions here on the Forum that you might find helpful.
Maybe I'm just not clear on what you're doing in your tab, but it looks like the C7 chords in the second measure are suspect: the first one has an A in it and the second one has a D# in it. |

I find that the best thing to do is to really try to learn chord formulas and find out which chord tones are essential to making that chord what it is.
For example, take C9:
1 3 5 b7 9
C E G Bb D
Within that chord is: Edim and Gmin triads. Both of those triads contain the essential notes to give you a dominant sound. You don't need to play the root at all. Once you begin to know what is contained within each chord, it makes it easier to find it on the neck, because you have other targets.
Try searching for Edim and Gmin on the Look No hands site and see what you come up with.
I highly recommend learning all of your chord formulas--ALL of them. I think I broke it all down here: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=179027
