> Hello: Attn all advanced guitarists who are totally or partially blind!I am a totally blind intermediate guitar player searching for a way to advance my playing skills. I currently understand and play basic major and  minor chords in first position, shaped and bar chords, and how to use a capo to change keys.  I'd like to locate a comprehensive audio format chord fingering chart that includes: augmented, diminished, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, sus2, sus4, etc. chords for all note names.  This way, I could play guitar in all positions, in all keys, with all chords without the use of a capo if I wanted/needed to do so.  If an audio version of this chord fingering chart for the guitar exists, please let me know where to find it/purchase/borrow it.  I'd like it to describe chords as follows, string number, fret number, finger number starting with first string and working up to sixth string without skipping strings.  For instance, A major would be: first string open, second string second fret third finger, third string second fret second finger, fourth string second fret first finger, fifth string open, sixth string open.  If a chord is barred it would say which strings are barred at what fret with what finger.  If such an audio chart is not available, is there a way to learn the fingerings without having to interpret the braill music symbols, and if so, how does one use/understand that learning system.  Although I understand the string, fret, finger braille music symbols and can interpret them to understand the chord, it is quite a lot of steps to read the chord symbols for the chord for all fingers, interpret it, remember it in the time between the chart and guitar, place all fingers in position on the guitar in the right position etc.; there's got to be a better way to learn and a more efficient way as well. Unfortunately, I do not have a guitar teacher and must be self-taught. Please assist me to the best of your ability! Thank you. Please email me directly offlist at Shenmbc at aol.com with any response to this request.  Thank you and have a wonderful day! Casey
