Free chord charts - any interest?

[ikay]

Over the past 10 years or so I've created around 200 charts (revised figure) for my covers band in a simple format which is easy to use for the whole band. The charts just show the chords and song structure and are particularly useful when learning new songs. Minimises disagreements about who's getting it wrong lol!

Sample attached below, all songs are in this simple one page format. Too many songs in the archive to list here but suffice to say largely wedding/function band material.

If free access to these charts would be of interest to anyone please drop me a pm and, if there's enough interest, I'll explore ways to make them available to download somehow.

Also, if there are any particular songs you'd like charts for just let me know. I'm recently retired and have some time on my hands

Based on that sample, I'd say they would be a valuable resource for most people on here.

Thanks for the post. I’ve deleted the duplicate you posted as the attachment didn’t work anyway. 

Cheers

Thanks Ped. Any interest in adding a chord chart resource on BC?

I think this is a brilliant and kind gesture iKay. Good on you! BassChat is awesome because of folk like you! 

[ikay]

Aw shucks, too kind Dood!

I love the idea of a chord chart resource on BC, and this looks like being an excellent start - clear and concise.

[KingPrawn]

Brilliant. I think that’s Ace

[krispn]

Fantastic I don't know the song but played through with ease. I'll happily accept a drop box/google drive email with files attached.

Genius idea 

[gary mac]

A great and generous idea

[Musashimonkey]

I’m certainly interested. Thank you. 

[chrisgriff]

Definitely interested...great stuff 🙌🏻

[vmaxblues]

Hell yes, nice format!

[jonnybass]

Great idea!

[BassBunny]

Awesome and i would definitely be interested in getting access to all the charts. A bit like The Real Book brought up to date.

[naxos10]

Excellent idea ikay, I would be interested in a chord bank.

[Rumple]

Very generous of you and I like how you've done it, I'd love to see more

[lurksalot]

That is a beautifully simple layout , superb 

[madshadows]

That would be a superb thing to do

Send this over to the Transcriptions Page, that'll be handy! Look forward to seeing more!

 

Also, may I suggest, instead of chords, maybe using the Nashville Number system would be really useful. So that one chart can be used, no matter the key :-)

I'm talking to ikay at the moment about potentially hosting these as a page on BC, indexed and with a 'requests' area. Should be useful!!

[Dad3353]

Best idea on BC since... Well, since the last Very Good Idea. Excellent page layout, simple to use (even for non-drummers...). I've a fairly extensive 'collection' of disparate songs, standards and others, but in very varied formats. This is about the best I've seen, and I'd be interested in adding to my library. Stout work, sir; you're a Good Egg for making such effort available. Have a resounding hand...

Here you go - Bass builds nicely towards the end. (Great tune and a groovy arrangement).

 

[krismpos]

That's great! I'd love to have access to the whole database.
