Chords, Capos and Simple Melodies could be better

I am inexperienced at using the capo. The chord charts for the G scale chords were very useful. I could print them out and use them for reference. I purchased the lessons for that reason. I was surprised to discover that even after purchasing the lessons, NO charts were provided for keys A, D, E or C. These would have made this review five star.
