=====================================================
For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below four of the diagrams.
All the other chord boxes should 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.
