Over the last couple years, one of the most common requests I get is for minor scale PDF cheat sheets — which until now has been a big blind spot for me. But no longer! I’m excited to finally share with you all a huge amount of brand new PDF guides, showing you a half-dozen ways to visualize the most common chords in print-friendly format. As I say in the video above, step-by-step lessons walking you through all this is on the way… but in the meantime I wanted to share these as-is. I hope you enjoy!
I’m excited to offer 42 new pages of print-friendly guides — all of which are available below. These were all designed & crafted by me with meticulous care.
Membership to Song Notes Premium is required to download these… if you’re not a member, please consider joining today! Members get access to all my instructional PDF guides — which you can download and keep forever.

This batch has one-page summaries of the most popular scale types, giving you key-agnostic fretboard maps you can use when playing in any key. Each PDF also includes two additional pages showing the same fretboard map for each of the 12 keys.
If you’d like to dive deep into a specific key and learn one (or multiple) scales, these guides will be your friend! Each PDF includes a handful of pages, each of which focuses on all possible “box” positions used to play the given scale… open position included. Major, minor, and both pentatonics (major and minor) are included for each key.
If you’d like to work on practicing major and minor at the same time within a single key, these guides have you covered! Each page shows major scale positions in the top half, and minor on the lower half. This makes it easy to jump your eyes up-and-down to practice mixing these up. Pentatonics (major and minor) are available as well, with their diagonal (extended) shapes included for good measure.
If you’re wondering where these different scales come from, or would alternatively like to brush up on your CAGED shapes (major or minor), or need help reading scale diagrams… the following lessons will help you out.
