Guitar Music Theory Posters
A series of music theory reference posters for guitarists, including a general theory reference poster, a common chord chard, and an extended chord chart. This was made as a personal side project to help me learn about music theory, and to create a visually appealing reference for my own use. Click the links below for a detailed list of each poster’s content.
