Hi everyone....
i also think that its better to know the basic rules for making
of the chords and learning them as u play them and try to get them
directly on fretboard.....
but i haven't come across any single place where i can find
RULES for making of various chords....
Can someone give us a compiled list of rules for making various
chords??... someone who has already developed one for herself/himself.
..
i do hope some1 has it and shares it with us all...
Robin
