Hey y'all,
Is there anyone that has a tab chart for the chord possibilities of the Bm7/D6 tuning?
Thanks.

Assuming you're using the tuning you described in the "Abusing C6th with Open E Licks" discussion, the tuning would be as follows:
1. D
2. B
3. F#
4. D
5. A
6. D
I don't see a specific chord chart or tab chart for this variation of open D on John Ely's web site, but it should be pretty easy to figure out using any spreadsheet. Basically you've got all the notes of an open D chord in open position (minus the second string), along with all the notes of a B minor 7 chord in open position.
This probably won't format properly, but it gives you the idea.
| Tab: |
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
1 D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C C#
2 B C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A#
3 F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# E F
4 D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C C#
5 A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G#
6 D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C C#

Brad is right on about the "assuming" part. There are several possibilities for configuring most "named" tunings. It usually a good idea to post the exact tuning, as used by you.
If Brad's assumption is correct, here is a 1-6-2-5 chord progression showing every possible note in each of the four different chord-types.
I hope this is what you are seeking:

Thanks guys. But is there a chart with all the possible chord names; with slants and reverse slants with that BM7/D6 tuning above?

Hi Andre,
I doubt that you will find exactly what you are looking for since this is a somewhat obscure tuning.
However, if you contact my friend Dr. Steve Luke, I think he will be able to help you. As an eBay seller, he offers 124 "books" in PDF format of almost every tuning for many different stringed instruments. He made a couple of custom books for me, at no extra charge. Here is a listing of the current chord diagram books he offers:
http://stores.ebay.com/Steve-Lukes-Mostly-Music-Store_Chord-Books_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ17987820QQftidZ2QQtZkm
You will still have to "connect the dots" for the slants, etc. but it is all there on the diagrams. |

Andre ... I just replied to your email ...
And then saw this thread ... 
That Bm7 tunin' is Sol Hoopii's C#m7 tuning ... taken down a whole step ...
So I've sent you over to John Ely's Chord Finder program ...
And included in my reply ... an example ... showing the adjustment needed to get you what you want ...
Hope that helps ... |

Thanks, Steve. That's what I was looking for earlier. That's a VERY helpful link for just about any tuning you could devise on six strings.

| Good eye, Rick! You looked at the interval relationships and transposed. Both Brad and I missed that. But, it is also a good idea to have a printed copy of all the chord diagrams. I think I learn more by "drawing my own lines" for the slants, etc. |
