I think i know how to read them but I don’t know how to tell what frets to put them on. I’m teaching myself by the way. NO experience with stringed instruments.

If you are looking at a chart vertically, the first fret will be at the top. It is universally taught that your index finger is numbered "1", middle finger "2", ring finger "3", and pinky "4". So if it says "1" on the first fret of the high E and B strings, "2" on the second fret of the G string, and "3" on the fourth fret of the D string, you are looking at an F chord.

OR

If looking at a tab, it would look like this:
Fmajor
E ———-1———–
B ———-1———–
G ———-2———–
D ———-3———–
A ———-x———–
E ———-x———–
This means you are fretting the first fret on the high E and B string, second fret of the G string, and 3rd fret of the D string. Hope this helps.

I play guitar in my school’s jazz band and I’m trying to figure out the chord shapes for various types of chords like 6, ma9, 6/9, +7, mi9, 13 sus, b13, and many others. I’ve looked online, but all I find is huge charts for specific chords, when really all I want is the shape.

Tommie,
That’s not how you play jazz. You can’t just play block chords. There are various forms of every chord you mentioned. Sometimes we just play a simple triad. It depends on the context of the song and what the other musicians are playing.
The best way to learn these is to start with a scale. Any major scale, lets say Eb. Learn the basic major7 minor7 dom7 and min7b5 in all the forms up and down the neck. You should be able to play them anywhere within 1 fret of the scale form.
then take the root up a whole step and that will give you a 9th chord. Take the 7th and drop it to a 6th and so on.
After a while you will see chords anywhere on the neck.

And for the life of me I can’t play by ear. But this song is so beautiful and I’d love if somebody could come up with even a lose Chord chart or Tab for the guitar for it? Thank you very much if you can! I can’t find any online by the way, I’ve looked.

Welcome to the classical music category. I don’t know much about this particular piece of music, but it does not appear to be classical in nature. I would try reselecting the category, where it is more likely to be recognized.

Like for example, f. If I look at an f chord chart it looks like it want me to use 6 fingers. How do I play it? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I really have no idea…

Look at this. I want to give credit to my source.

Ultimately should I be able to know how to play must of these charts in guitar sheet music? without even looking at the chart but given the name? Also is it good or bad if I develop a dependence on chord charts when learning a song? Lastly, how do I begin to learn how to play the melodies of songs? I already know how to read the treble clef because of experience in piano.
Thanks.

1)Yes
2)Yes
3)I don’t know what you are on about.
4)When playing a melody play it very, very slowly at first and as your hand gets comfortable with the structure gradually build up the pace when you think you have gotten better so your hand co-ordination gets better. Also I would strongly recommend that you learn which scale the melodies are built from (so this would require for you to learn the scales e.g. pentatonic scale, diatonic scale ect.) as this will reinforce your knowledge of the guitar and you can even be able to write your own songs if you wish. Good luck with the guitar, it is a fascinating instrument.

I would also think that you would get a guitar teacher (if you haven’t done so already, cuz it’s a long and frustrating journey without one).
