Guitar Chords Chart & Circle of Fifths Poster Bundle, Essential Guitar Chords | Guitar Freboard Notes | Guitar Chord Progressions | Circle of Fifths Wheel | Guitar Theory Poster Chart for Beginner

I have been playing guitar for a long time now, and have always wanted to deepen my understanding of theory. I have spent time on books, a guitar wheel, instructors... but none of it resonated or made a profound impact on me. I thought I would give these charts a try, because it was offered through Vine.To start, these charts are large. Approximately 4' x 2'. They have EVERYTHING a player needs not only to start, but something to keep a player's edge sharp and bring new ideas to light. You see how the layout makes perfect sense to a student. Here's an example. In the key of A, you get the major, minor, dominant, diminished, sus, add, aug etc., chords and finger positionings. This helps to train your ear for different shapes within the key. Within each chord shows the root and other notes that make up the chord itself. It also has a fretboard breakdown of individual notes (from 1st to 15th fret) to help you locate the note faster, for those that want to memorize the fretboard. Then there's a small example of chord progressions, from popular to jazz and 12-bar blues, for those that want to expand on this chart. That's only the first one...The second chart starts applying the theory with the chromatic tones, detailing the semitones and the emotional connection to the phrasing itself. I have often heard of musicians attaching a particular emotion to a specific scale, but didn't make the connection to the underlying root chord until seeing this chart. This really helps visually connect the dots between ears / eyes / brain / fingers to open new musical doors.To add more context to the theory for a student, the lower half of the second chart provides a solid foundation to connect the major and minor chords and their modes. This has always eluded me in trying to understand the musical structure with whole and half notes, sharps and flats, and their roots. This has it all.These charts are large, and are constructed with a material that has a textured plastic feel to it, not unlike a thin shower curtain. Whoever thought of that idea was brilliant, because a paper chart of this size would likely see much more wear and tear over time and have to be replaced much faster. I can see home instructors, students, and bedroom players like myself going back to this chart often. I've gotten a bunch of items through Vine, but these musical charts were a very pleasant and helpful surprise!

MY RATING SCALE:* I can’t believe this product/item is even available for sale on Amazon. There are so many issues with it that I can’t recommend it to anyone. Do not purchase.** Product/item doesn’t meet my expectations. I wish I would’ve passed on ordering it. I certainly wouldn’t order it again. There are multiple issues and I can not recommend it. Potential buyers order at your own discretion.*** An average item/product. I like it, I might or might not reorder it, and if I recommend it, it’s with stipulations. There are one or more issues with the product/item, but nothing so major that the product isn’t useful.**** A good product/item. I like it, I’d likely reorder it, and I recommend it. I/we had a minor issue with the item, but it’s nothing that can’t be overlooked.***** A GREAT product/item. I love it…I’d definitely reorder it and I highly recommend it! I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it.My husband plays guitar and I’ve been telling him, I want him to give me lessons. So, I showed him the guitar chords and circle of fifths charts, and he thought they’d be a good learning tool to have. The posters/charts are printed on a canvas type material, so I anticipate they will hold up better than paper would. The printing is clear, neat and easy to read. These are quite large and take up a good amount of wall space. So that’s something to keep in mind if you’re considering ordering them. I’m obviously not familiar with fifths charts or chords, so I can’t comment to the accuracy of the printed material, but my husband gave me his insight. He feels they are a great quick reference guide if you have sheet music with just the chords listed. The chart is helpful in figuring out the fingerings. However, due to chart size limitations, it doesn’t show all available fingerings in different positions…just a basic one. The circle of fifths chart is also a great reference for musical theory. But, you need to have some knowledge of music to understand what the different parts of the chart are showing you. The quality of these surpassed our expectations, and I think they will make for interesting wall decor in his music man cave. Overall we’re pleased with these charts and would recommend them for someone that’s wanting to learn guitar, like me…as well as for the intermediate player and even an experienced guitarist to use for reference.

This is VERY large, sop be sure you have the space for it. I use it in the garage and it is great.

These are really cool - but they are really big. Way bigger than I expected and I read the dimensions. They are also made of light canvas so another plus - but - they fold them into a square instead of rolling them. This is a huge bummer and why 4 stars instead of 5. I have to take these massive canvas "posters" and get them on an ironing board to straighten them out before I can hang them.There's a lot of valuable information for guitar players at any level. The screened text is bright and easy to read. Great value for its utility and durability.

I used these for a space on my home studio wall where reflective space was handy. It's always a help to have references available especially when working with others who may not be as familiar with the content, so you don't have to white-board it.Highly recommended as a training tool.
