Topic: Chord charts

I'm not new at playing but new at chord charts. What does it mean when you see a chord like Bb-5?
Can someone help me with the more odd chords?

Re: Chord charts

Hi Doug and Welcome to Chordie!

  Your Bb-5 would be a B flat chord with a diminished  (flatted) 5th note, and a +5 would be augmented (sharped) 5th note.
One small application that I would recommend adding to your PC toolkit is a free version of the Guitar Alchemist program, which has all the chords you could imagine included with notation and many variations.   www.guitaralchemist.com

Take Care;
