Hey everybody,
I've put together some layout charts that are a bit different that all the others I've seen on the web so far. I did this mainly for my own study and use, but some of you might find them useful as well, so I thought I'd share.
They show layouts--by interval--for the I, IV and V chords for each of the 12 positions. At Buddha's suggestion, I also added layouts for the ii and iii chords, but I only did it for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions. At the end, there's a cross-reference sheet and a simplified chart showing the location of the tonics for the I, IV and V for each position.
It's formatted as a PDF at Google Docs, and you should be able to see it here, if I've done this correctly.
Comments would be appreciated. It's a work in progress.

Nice. I was thinking about something like this, but I was thinking small. I was going to use it for 2nd position to teach 12 Bar to someone. You took it to the next level!

Dave, that's a really really useful set of charts you've produced. They'll be really great for transposing music from other instruments, as well as studying improvisation techniques, and for so much more. Thank you for making them freely available!

This is great work. I think you realize that the IV chord numbers template is also twelfth position, the V chord is second position, the II chord is third position and the III chord is fifth position. What I recommend is writing this out for all 12 positions and then becoming aware which positions are the I, IV, V, II, and III chords in relation to each I chord's position. I would also recommend the VI chord, very useful.

Michael: thanks--I've really been enjoying your Meat & Potatoes video series.
I definitely did notice what you mention about how the positions overlap on the different chords, and I put notes to that effect under the headers for each of the chord layouts. For fun, I sketched out a diagram of this relationship on the Circle of Fifths, but it's just a sloppy sketch and isn't something I'd be willing to upload. Maybe I'll do a table, and add that to the file. Thanks for the recommendation to add the vi chord, will do as time permits.
