Happy New Year.
I'm currently transcribing some chords into BB and the chord F* appears a few times.
Using just F major doesn't sound quite right and I've fumbled around on my acoustic trying various obvious alts but what does the * actually signify please?
Is it a shorthand of some kind?

My guess would be FMaj7 if its meant to be F followed by a triangle.
Could also be F diminished if F followed by a small circle.

I have never seen a F* or any * chord. Here is a list of all of the chord symbols and a * is not listed: https://jazz-library.com/articles/chord-symbols/If possible I would look at the notes in the song (hopefully you have more than just the chord symbols) and figure out what chord it is suppose to be. Good luck!

Thanks folks.
I can't see the notation as it's a Chord Sheet only.
Later I'll try a few of those on that list. Although I don't 'read' as such, I could get it from the stave - if only there was one.

Ian, give us the chord progression. Or post a picture of the song so we can see the chord progression.
Mario is correct, there is no such symbol* in music notation of chords.
It could be that the program doing the printing could not reproduce the small circle for Diminished, or the small circle with a diagonal line that is Half-Diminished. Or as Andrew said, less likely, the triangle that means Major 7th.
Show us the song.
* unless it's something like this, where it could mean there is an explanation of the chord somewhere else. I've seen this done when the exact voicing of a chord is needed because there is no standard name for it.
Joke overheard that was said by young music students:
"There are five types of chords - major, minor, suspended, augmented, and demolished."

Its here - https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/becky-hill/only-you-chords-4423622Two mistakes on my part 1 - it's G* not F*. 2 - if I'd bothered to check the very top of the chord sheet I'd have seen G* shown as a hybrid guitar G major 320033 rather than the expected first inversion of 320003. I've played them both and can't see why he made it different. The extra D doesn't do much to boost the chord. Matt was right - the * means "explanation elsewhere". Bests Ian

With the capo on the first fret, you G* is actually G(b6b9). Without the capo it is just a G. But Matt was right, * means look for footnote.

The 320033 is quite common among guitarist. It is commonly used when going to a Cadd9. The fingering change would be 320033 to 032033. It is also used when going to a form of D or to Bm or Bm7, making a smoother chord transition.

Dan, if putting a capo on the first fret wouldn't just be an G#/Ab chord? The fingering would still be 320033 from the capo would it not? The capo would raise each note by a half step. When putting on a capo a guitarist would still use the same chord fingerings, it would just be a different chord, in this case a G to G#. Or am I on a different wavelength then you?

Opps, Just like me to over analyze things. Of course you are correct. I have been playing the keys for a long time now. Good catch my friend. In my defense I thought there would be something special noted with the voicing of the G*. The 320033 is very common for a G chord - nothing special here.
