i wanted to learn 50 ways to leave your lover, and there are chords in there like B7-9, D# 07, Bb 6. stuff like that.
 
If all else fails, pick up a copy of "7,488 Guitar Chords" by Jay Arnold. 206 pages of chord charts, if its not in there somewhere then it probably dosen't exist. BTW it is safe to say, my fingers will not go into some of the positions, fortunately Jay gives alternate fingerings for many of the chords.
 
Here are some links to chord finders. I have printed out the mega list referred to above, and still find that I have to hunt around for chords. Some of the chord finders tell you what notes are in the chord. From that you can learn what specific note or notes make the modified chord different. This will help you emphasize the note if you want to when you play, and it will help you find other ways of playing the chord if you don't like the one you found first.

If you look at page 3 of the Ultimate Chord Chart, you'll see Bb6. Compare the difference between that and the first version of Bb7 on the next line. There is only one note that is different. The note that makes a Bb7 a seventh is the Ab. On the B6, you play a G instead. It may help the song if you empahsize that particular note. (Depending on where it shows up in the song and whether or not you are playing solo, consider playing it as a double barre, so you can have your bass note be the Bb on the A string.)

http://guitarists.net/chords/ (This one provides tells you the notes in the chord, and gives you a picture of the whole fretboard, with the three notes highlighed. Then you get to puzzle out the fingering. That's a good way to remind ourselves to learn chord formulas.)

You know, I always wondered about Guitar George's only being able to afford an old guitar. VIntage ain't cheap. ;^)
 
Truly, there is an almost infinte amount of chord fingerings, especiallly if you suffer from polydactlysm, giantism, and ha ve a 35 fret guitar like me. :p
 
If all else fails learn how chords are built and you will never need a chord book again. ;)

Yep, 10 minutes on a piano along with knowing the note positions on each string and you will never need a chord chart again, I agree.

You'll have to learn the nomenclature/notation conventions as well.

How do you know when a note position is flat or sharp? and should one learn all 21 frets?

No, you really only need to learn the first 12. It repeats after that. :D
 
Learning what notes are in a chord and then finding the easiest fingerings for yourself is much better than trying to memorize 50 positions for a chord.

Each fret is one half-step, just like on a piano from one key to the next key.

So, if you finger an A, then move up one half-step, that's an A#.

C-B is a half step and so is E-F.

Oh! Are you saying how do you know to call a note A# or Bb, for example? It depends on the musical context -- what the harmony is, what the key signature is.

So it will always go like this: A-A#-B-C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-THEN BACK TO A.

Yes but throw in a G-G# before you go back to A :D

Edit: Also keep in mind some people love to say the flats instead of the sharps i.e. A#=Bb C#=Db and so forth
