This is the Jazz Chords page one.
Lots of Jazzy sounding chords to try with some ideas on putting them together!
"R" is the Root note of the chord.
"O" means you play the open string.
"X" = don't play the string.

cmaj7
fmaj7
gmaj7



emaj7
c7
c7b9



a11
am11
d9




All of these chords are "moveable" up and down the fretboard except for:
Cmaj7  & Fmaj7.
Emaj7 is moveable but as you play in other positions, don't play the Open E string.
As you try the chords in other positions the chord name will change.
For example if you play Am11 shape [5th fret] at the 7th fret, it is Bm11
.

If you can name the Root note [R] you have the new chord name!
