Does anyone have a chart of chords on the C6th tuning ?

I know with some chord construction theory and time I could sit down and work out the chords available on the tuning, but I guess I am lazy and dont want to reinvent the wheel. I am really working on A6th tuning, but the chords would be the same with just fret changes. Thanks in advance for any help to this old lazy Okie dummy !

John Ely's Chord Finder page is a good place to start ---> CLICK

Thanks Dennis and all. Some of my latest questions have been answered. I'm really into the tunings because it makes it so much more easy for the blues and to switch genres. Great leads bookmarked em for sure...Michael

Larry,
I have an app on my iPhone called "Note Finder". You enter the chord (or scale) name and it shows you all the notes of that chord or scale, in your tuning, across 12 frets. Better yet, the notes show as intervals from the root. Great little visual tool. Costs about $2.00, if I recall correctly. The guys I play swing with are really glad I have it.

Larry, you probably have this figured out, but for any new student comparing the 6th tunings,the common A6th and C6th tunings are not just separated by 3 frets. In A6th the major triad is on top, with C6th the minor triad is on top. So not only are the chords separated by three frets, they are also played on different strings.

Go on Ebay and look up A6 Tuning chart. It shows you what notes are where. They have them for C6 as well. If you know a little chord theory, this is a great tool.

Hi David K.
I cannot find it in AppStore. Where do I look?
I can only find it for Android.

Peter, Here's how I got there.
google > iphone app store > music > N (from alphabet) > page 4 > NoteFinder (near bottom of middle column)
I notice that my browser sent me straight to Apple Canada, so yours may be different. Note that "NoteFinder" is sort of all one word. Hope you find it.

Larry, I'm sure you know that it is true that the same chord patterns apply to C6 and A6 tuning if, as I am, you are using C6 with a high G. These are my favorite tunings so far, too. I find them easy to get around in in just about every type of music, and having the three steps apart allows me to choose which tuning to use according to what open string notes I want available in a certain key, as well as where my parts sound best on the neck.
