Adding Variables

[jefsummers]

I play guitar as well. Not sure what you are trying to do here - adding up the finger positions, so a C chord would be 0+3+2+0+1+0=6, an A chord would be 0+0+2+2+2+0 = 6? You throw me by the comparison to the value 1, as there is no 6 string chord that would have that value. Even an Em7 would be 2.

Agree with the above, but in the larger scheme, what are you trying to do?
