Default Nursery School Tabs for People Who Hate Tabs

For beginners or people who just hate to look at all those tiny numbers. When I first started reading tabs, I'd find them with no chord markings or notation and have to work out that the fancy fingerstyle-looking numbers were really just arpeggiated chords most of the time, but which chords? I made this in Musescore to help me begin to see the numbers as chords at a glance. There are plenty of charts out there, but I didn't find any that were quite so readable. This is just chords I was using in Gmajor, thought I'd share my big print version in case anybody else has old eyes out there.

Good one. You will also give special attention the lowest pitched note in an arpeggio as it is most often the root note of the chord (especially first position chords and full barre chords further up the neck). Sometimes it's the second note up for some of your alternate thumb (Travis type) picking patterns.
