I have long known my Major, Minor, Dominant 7, and Minor 7 chords by memory, plus a scattering of others such as which frets the more common dim chords fall on. But that's as far as I've ever gone trying to memorize chords. I have a lot of tunes under my fingers which utilize other chords, but I play them from muscle memory, not knowing exactly what they are. When playing a new tune, I keep a chord dictionary handy to look up the ones I don't know off hand. Is that about "normal?" Or, do many of you experienced players have a lot more chords memorized? Just wondering.
