Well, despite this being the For Guitarists archive, here's one for the piano players out there. This is
new territory for me, so the chord diagrams below are more than likely crude or awkward in their
presentation, but I'm pretty confident they're accurate. If anything seems off or missing, e-mail me and
I'll fix it right up. Thanks! :)
