Download PDF ↓Print at actual size or check your printer’s fit-to-page preview. The chord atlas groups twelve roots on each quality page, so you can print only the family you need or place several pages beside a keyboard. Orange keys mark the supplied pitches. A diagram identifies notes; it does not choose an expressive voicing, a comfortable register or the correct fingering for every player.
Compare two neighboring examples and describe what changed. For major and minor triads on the same root, the third moves by one semitone while the perfect fifth stays. On a scale page, compare the pattern with the written letters. The fingering booklet gives conventional starting suggestions for C, G, D and F major only, with different right-hand grouping in F. Adapt a physical movement to the player and context, and stop if it hurts.
Use the custom diagram generator for a short note collection rather than squeezing an entire atlas into a slide. It exports SVG and PNG with source credit. The chord chart generator makes a progression-specific sheet through Print / Save PDF, while staff paper leaves room for a learner’s own writing. Connect your handout to a customized notation exercise when you want an interactive follow-up.
These PDFs contain original examples and diagrams, not transcriptions of published songs. They are study references rather than an independently reviewed curriculum or a promise of physical technique outcomes.
