And just for the record, I've *never* been able to decipher your chord charts!

If I would interpret the above example (and I'll use standard tuning just for reference since no tuning is listed), would that be 4th fret on the D string, 5th fret on the G string (first chord) and then 3rd fret on the D string, 5th fret on the G string (second chord)? Are any strings played open?

To echo what others have said, I usually use handwritten tabs whenever I write in non-standard tunings (and often when I write in standard if I'm not using straight chords), but I know tablature can look totally foreign to some. I generally record the riffs/progressions to tape and then write notes clarifying anything I think I might forget.
