4 Chord Charts
(C, D, and E Forms)
These charts are in the keys of C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, F#/Gb. Using a capo, these charts at first can all be used to practice reading numbers in C. Like 4 chord G charts, these charts feature the 1, 4, 5, and 6m chords in any order. These charts might also have less than four chords total (e.g. only 1, 4, and 5 or only 1, 4, and 6m,). Down the road these charts can be used to practice reading numbers in other keys (like D and E). At first, use only C chords (C, F, G, and Am) and refer to the capo guide when needed.
