I hope thats easy enough to follow

for the chord shapes, in the first collumn I will
put the chord shapes the book shows. I will put what I
prefer to play in the second collumn, either because I
like it more, or because I disagree with the books fingering
(for Asus4, book actually shows the fingering for A7sus4!)
