Does anyone find the little "finger" shapes confusing? I would rather see circles, so my brain doesn't have to adapt to a new way of reading tabs. Also, the inverted "D" shape is hard to parse because it's not a symmetric shape. Cool idea, other than that! It reminds me of this new QR code font I read about just yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48703200

Yeah, as a guitarist this is hideously non-standard. Definition of change for the sake of change.
If shows the direction your fingers would point on the guitar neck but it's not like there's much confusion around this point.
