Guitar Chords and Scales

The following illustrates guitar chords and scales, particularly the relationship between fundamental bar chord forms and pentatonic scale patterns. Both major and minor chords and scales are considered. The chords and scales are illustrated on a guitar fingerboard, shown as they will appear to the guitarist when the guitar is being played. Thus the strings appear to be "upside down", since this is how they appear to the guitarist.
