I want to put some chord diagram into guitarpro, I allready know you can put them above the tab but I dont know how to do that.

But isn't it possible to put only chord diagrams in stead of a tab? To make a whole list of the chords I learned.

I am not sure if I understood this. Do you want to create chord diagram in GP?

Yeah, something like http://www.learnguitarmusic.com/images/guitar-chord_diagram.gif

I have done it in my lesson "Atmospheric Open Chords". I exported a PDF file from GP and opened it in Photoshop. There I choped each chord and made a new picture file out of it. I don't think you can do it in GP.

Could be possible but I don't find the option. I've tried to hide both (tab and trad. notation) but the program don't let me, you can only hide one.
The other posibility is to create the shapes and then copy and edit in other program (could be a good one as Photoshop) or maybe something more simplier like Paintbrush.

And how do I create the shapes in gp? Cant seem to find the option.

I think GP is not the application for that. Maybe these links will help you a step further:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/25528/Blank-Guitar-Chords-Diagrams, http://guitar.about.com/library/qchordpaper.htm

These are templates and you should be able to import them in PhotoShop, Illustrator or any other design application.

The shape in the GP is in the Menu-Note- Chord (the shortcut is the letter "A")

Ok I'm using the guitarpro thing. Thanks for the links though wrk!
Thanks Ramiro and Emir.

In the menu "Note" choose "Chord" or just press "A" on the keyboard. That will bring you chord constructor window.

Yeah you can export from PDF files , but its really a hustle doing that individually in photoshop...Maybe you can find online the picture of chord charts you need

You're welcome mate!

I found this program that seems to be very close to your needs.
Check the PDF that I've made with many charts.

I leave also the link to the program site
