Many musicians are handed charts when they sit in with other groups.
It would be a great addition to the site to have someone teach how to read and write charts for guitar.

By "charts" are you referring to chords charts specifically? Or just sheet music in general?

That's a great idea.

This tutorial is not explicitly about how to read a chart. But it does contain a basic chord chart & I use it to teach the whole tutorial. You can learn a great deal about reading a chart by watching it & referring to the chart image displayed below the video.

Hope this helps for now!
