Hi! My name is
Harley and I love playing guitar. I
came to realize that I wanted to share my
USEFUL &
COMPACT chord chart files, with guitar players like you
(actual size each: 8 1/2" x 11").

Open D Tuning Chord Chart
D A D F#A D tuning is one of my favorite alternate tunings for learning to
play the guitar! I searched the net in vain for a "useful" OPEN
"D" chord chart, so I made my own, and want to pass my chart along to you. The
chords I use more frequently, are grouped together "In Keys", for easier access.
This tuning lends itself so well to today's music styles, particularly,
"Alternating Bass" or "Travis Picking" techniques.
Open G Tuning Chord Chart
D G D G B D
There are many similarities between OPEN alternate tunings. The key or pitch varies accordingly, but many left hand
positions vary only by moving up or down a string. I've converted my Gibson (classical nylon string) to this tuning. The "G" intonation works beautifully on a classical guitar.
I searched the net in vain for a "useful" OPEN "G" chord chart, so I made my own, and want to pass my chart along to you.
The chords I use more frequently, are grouped together "In Keys", for easier access. This tuning lends itself so well to
today's music styles, particularly, "The Blues" or "Slide Guitar" techniques.
DADGAD Tuning Chord Chart
D A D G A D
The one thing, anyone starting out with "DADGAD" tuning can
benefit from, is a "useful" chord chart. Too many
other charts out there begin with hundreds of "D" chord shapes you'll
probably never use, before they show anything else.
So I made my own, and want to pass my
more compact charts, along to you.
Also,
my skills are evolving, and modifying some of my "DADGAD" chord formations, has
helped. The chords I use more
frequently, are grouped together "In Keys", for easier access. Check out
my "DADGAD" chart and discover the difference!
Pipe
Tuning Chord Chart
E
A D E A E
When I came across the "EADEAE" or "Pipe" tuning as it is sometimes called, I discovered that this was a very playable alternative to the popular,
(sometimes difficult to grasp) "DADGAD" tuning. The "EADEAE" tuning combines the bottom 3 strings of 'Standard' tuning "EAD" (great for rock & blues), with that 'droning
Celtic' tone combination of the
top strings "EAE". I needed a "useful" "Pipe" tuning chord chart, so I
made my own, and want to pass my chart along to you. The chords I use more
frequently, are grouped together "In Keys", for easier access.
Open C Tuning Chord Chart
C
G C G C E I've been experimenting with the OPEN "C" tuning and lov'in it. Similar but still very different to "Open D", the "third" is now on the top string. This tuning presents the opportunity to discover some very unique
voicing. OPEN "C" tuning works very well on my Washburn (steel string) and suits my vocal range.

DGDGAD Tuning Chord Chart
D G D G A D
What a difference changing one string can make. "DGDGAD" tuning has become a "new favorite" tuning. It sounds somewhat
similar to "DADGAD", but that 5th
string change from "A" to "G" makes all the difference in playability. "DGDGAD" tuning also works very well on my Gibson (classical) and suits my vocal range.

Orkney Tuning Chord Chart
C
G D G C D
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! WOW! "ORKNEY" tuning, sometimes
called "Sawmill" tuning, works very well on my Gibson (classical) and suits my
vocal range. DADGAD" enthusiasts looking for a change,
will love this tuning. That low "C" will knock your socks off!

"Nice job Harley! Thanks for the charts and the work you did to make them happen.
Best regards," Ray
"Harley, Thanks for the charts especially the EADEAE. I've fooled with that
tuning awhile, and had some of the chords worked out well enough for playing
solo, but not well enough to play along with others on the fly. You made things
much easier for me. The charts will go to the front of my working songbook." John
"Superb, thanks Harley." Sugwash
"EADEAE,is sometimes called Carthys tuning, or Irish tuning.
I find Kottkes tuning handy, thank you." C. Birdseye
"Handy to have those. and thanks Harley." McGrath
"Dang, but far be it for me to criticize. I should come up with something as
handy and useful as your charts." Lucius
"Thank you, Harley.
It is very cool the way you
have extended the chords and key/families for these tunings. very helpful stuff." Bird (birdman blue)
"Wow, thanks, Harley.
EADEAE is called "Pipe tuning"? I've been using that one for a while and I had
no idea. I just knew it was to the key of A as DADGAD is to D." Cluin
"Hey Thanks for those, brilliant, time to start practicing ..........." Raggytash
"Dear Harley:
Thanks for the files -- these look great! I looked all around for something like
this but couldn't find anything except yours. You should publish these with somebody. Thanks!" Doug Hazelrigg
