Chords the Guitar Seat Reads Off a Chart

Every root, every quality — with the job each one does once the tune names a key.

Pick a letter, then whichever of 62 qualities the chart wrote after it. What comes back is the voicing plus the thing a chord chart never says: which degree this is likely to be, and therefore what the rest of the group is already covering.

The guitar seat carries the comp — the changes stated in three and four notes behind whoever is playing the melody, which in practice means dropping the root and playing the notes nobody else is covering — the third and the seventh first, everything else only if it fits under the hand.

Every shape is drawn for EADGBE across 6 strings, the open ones first and the movable ones up the neck after them, and each one plays back so you can hear the voicing before you commit it to a chorus.
