Supplement 1: Blank Templates
The following pages contain blank fret-board templates for readers to use in making diagrams of chords and scales not otherwise shown in this book, or for other purposes, such as altering a given chord or scale, or compiling a personalized reference-set of chords or scales.
Obviously, you must have a printer to get a hard-copy of a page shown here. I recommend printing at least two, write on one but keep the other one clean to use in making additional copies of blank templates, so you don't have to keep coming here to get more blanks.
The first set of templates is for low-register chords, and thus shows the nut at the top of each template. A blank line has been provided at the top of each page, for writing a title for the page, and other blank lines are given at the bottom, for comments. Always place the name of the chord or scale directly above its template, to eliminate any confusion that could arise if name placement is not otherwise consistently applied.
The page after that has identical templates without the double-lines indicating the nut. These are for chords that can be played anywhere on the neck above the first fret, such as bar-chords or other chords where fret numbers are typically given along the left-hand side of a template. Also, a means of indicating the root is recommended. And those 4-fret templates can be used to write down scale-patterns that are caged within a 4-fret span.
Next are many templates with extended ranges, in 4-fret increments per page, and which are intended for indicating scales not given in this book, or for altered versions of various scales from this book. Included are templates both with and without the double-line at the top, for indicating the nut. Fret spans include 8-fret, 12-fret, 16-fret, 20-fret, and 24-fret versions.
At the end is a page of simple lines, for writing notes; provided for the user's convenience.
