If you have it let me know.

Thanks
George

I think I have that on cassette.

@ CrowBear,

I do know what +5 means on a tuning chart, but what does it mean in your chord chart context?
Which string or pedal/lever is affected?

Peter,
It means the number of frets above 0(zero),,,,(no pedals position).
- means below zero and + means above zero.
BB

Bobby B done told ya'

Thanks guys

What do these mean (I know the French, but how/why different from the English equivalents?)

13éme
Augmenté
Diminué

Brian

simply cause i translated the chart from English to French Brian
still the same equivalents in any language
reading, chinese, arabic, japaneses & sanskrit will be harder tho....

Well that confused me more, as these have different specs but a "dimished" (aka "dimished seventh") chord in any language should be the same:

Diminué (°)----*-1 ------------ 8 6 5 ------------- F

Dim7 ---------*+2 ------------ 9 8 6 5 ------------ F

In the purest classical sense I suppose "diminished" might refer to a simple diminished triad (no 7th at all) but in popular music the double-dimished 7th is implied by "dimished chord".
