The numbers are in a different order based on their position in the respective scale. You could live your whole guitar life not ever knowing this next bit of information. I just put it here for those that may be interested. You can safely skip to the next section if you want. Anyway, in music theory, each chord built on a specific scale degree also has a name and a type. Types follow the name and are "primary" for uppercase Roman Numerals or "secondary" for lower case.
See below in the key of C and A minor. The names as well as the primary or secondary types are the same for Major and minor scales. But notice that the primary types for a Major scale are all Major chords and the primary types for a minor scale are minor chords. Remember lower case Roman Numerals are minor while uppercase are Major. Chords that are primary, the I i , IV iv and V v are called primary due to their importance in tonal harmony. Now that you have some knowledge of the Roman Numeral System under your belt, we can use them as symbols to represent chords in chord progressions.
Since a chord progression is simply the movement from one chord to another in a series of chords the combinations are almost endless. It is impossible to list every type of chord progression. We can however, cover some of the more common progressions. Many songs have been written using this progression or variations of it due to 1 it's very basic and effective nature and 2 it's strong resolution to the Tonic I of the scale which gives a definite tonal focus and establishment of key. The strong resolution is caused by the move from the V chord back to the I which is called a "Perfect" cadence.
A progression from the IV chord to I chord is known as a plagal cadence and it too is used in many popular songs. What I did is try to list the chord charts for the most common chord types and their shapes for each of the music notes in alphabetical order including enharmonic notes. I only list chords that are playable within a span of 4 frets.
I also only went up to the guitar's 12th fret too so this book doesn't include the second half of the guitar's fretboard which is the same as the first half anyway. That's still quite a lot of chords to display on a single page so I made it available as a downloadable PDF file.
