My Chord Denotation

With this table I have listed the chord-denotation used in my melody-files, because I think, something has to be explained. I learned this by my teacher of the guitar some years ago, but it is no standard notation, I know.

I have written down the chords of the note C only, but from this you will get the chords of other keys.
