I've looked all over the web for a capo transposition chart for mandolin (and GDAE tuned instruments) but can't find anything. Does anyone know where I might find one? I'm ready to sit down and figure it out some afternoon and make my own chart, but thought I'd check and see if one exists anywhere.
I'm primarily a fiddle player, but at jams I often play mandolin, octave mando and Irish tenor banjo (all GDAE). As such, I just use a basic arsenal of chords if I don't know the melody. Also, the person choosing the song usually gets to pick the key they're used to playing or singing in, so the rest of us are scrambling to transpose in our heads as we play, which is tricky for me, as a fiddle player, because I have to overcome muscle memory from years of playing one pattern, to adjust to a new pattern.
Any feedback is appreciated. I play melody on the instruments mentioned, but usually work with a basic chord selection when playing rhythm. A capo chart would be a great help.

Thanks! I probably won't use it on my mandolins, but it'll be helpful on my octave and Irish tenor banjo. I think there's enough information in the links to figure it out.

Kelly: If you are puzzled about any thing in particular just toss out your questions. Take care...
