Subject: RE: Help: Figuring out chord equivalencies
And of course maybe you don't actually want to do any 'figuring', in which case here's a little 'basic' chart that should get you most of the transpositions you are after:

AD E(7)F#mBmC#m
CFG(7) AmDmEm
DG A(7)BmEmF#m
EAB(7) C#mF#mG#m
FBb C(7)DmGmAm
GCD(7) EmAmBm

Of course a capo is a simpler solution, here's a capo table to tell you where to put it to play in any key with any chord shape you prefer:

Key
played
Base chord shape to use
AC DEFG
A 0 9 7 5 4 2
Bb 1 10 8 6 5 3
B 2 11 9 7 6 4
C 3 010 8 7 5
C# 4 111 9 8 6
D 5 2 010 9 7
D# 6 3 11110 8
E 7 4 2 011 9
F 8 5 3 1 010
F# 9 6 4 2 111
G 10 7 5 3 2 0
G#11 8 6 4 3 1
