I want to create a "wall chart" of chords, up the neck in various positions (inversions, etc.), preferably in the context of keys (the I to VII) of a given key, does anyone know of a "public book" that has "chord charts" rather than song collections
There is a great book called "Scales Over Chords" that describes a technique called the "CAGED sequence" that does this for all major chords. It's pretty simple, and describes the chord shape you would want to play for the same chord as you move down the neck.
Example, in C.
Open C is a C shape. The next C down the neck is an A shape. The next C below that is a G shape. Then a E shape. Then a D shape.
That works for every chord shape. It works really well for me, as it's easy to remember. It puts any major chord within a three fret reach no matter where you are on the fretboard, which is a handy thing to have.
found this about caged sequence on google books

That's the one!
I can't believe I paid for the book! Having it on-line is pretty cool, and you can't beat the cost.
