4-String Voicing

Permutations:
The following list shows all the possible
voicings on four strings within a four fret
span. (There are some duplicated intervallic
relationships.) Start in first position, as the
fret numbers correspond with the numbered
sets. (Later one can transpose the voicings
along the strings.) Analyze each voicing
four times (considering each tone as the
root). The example diagrams below use the
fingering permutation 1,1,1,1 on string set
4321.
