Mandolin chord book
Every root’s chords as a book to print and keep: a cover, a page of contents, then a page for each note from C to B, 144 chords in all. It is made on your mandolin as you have it set up, in standard tuning, each chord in the shape the chord chart maker would pick.
Look through every page here for free. Downloading the book as a PDF is part of the full version, with the chord chart maker’s PDFs, live sheets and saving.
Another tuning, a capo or left-handed diagrams? Set them in the Library (Play it on) or on your page’s Settings, and the book follows.
