Hey folks!
I'm pretty happy with where the charts are at now. I'll probably work on the verbage a bit later, but this is functional for teaching :).
Please feel free to use it or criticize it (constructively if possible, hah!).
Let me know what you think.
**Edit
I know that you may wonder why I've only included Dominant chords in these charts. I start students off with just the Dominant chord, and then I teach them the spelling for Maj7, -7, -7b5, etc... and have them work out the shapes on their own.
Students (who practice, hehe) tend to retain chord knowledge a lot better if they have to work out the shapes themselves. That way they never have to wonder how a chord is actually constructed.
