Yeah, I said chords, because that's where I'm at. But your diagram

A string: --------3-5-7-------5-7-9--------7-9-10----------9-10-12---
E string: --3-5-7-------5-7-8-------7-8-10--------8-10-12------------

should not be beyond me, if I must go slowly and deliberately at first. And looks to be a good exercise. I'm going to try it.
