For the closest GUITAR chord box diagrams to my chord
legend suggestions you will need to manually select
the following options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below six of the diagrams.
The remaining chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting. As long
as you are logged into your account, these choices
will be saved automatically for every time you view
this tab.
G C/E G/F# G7/F
<10 of 27> <3 of 32> <7 of 16> <14 of 30>
C/B C/A
<12 of 15> <10 of 17>
NOTE: For the G/F# and G7/F it's not necessary to
fret the 5th string. If you don't pick that string,
you can just play them as two fingered chord shapes.
