Thanks Craig and I hope CW listens to your request.

I hope to use this as a songwriting tool in Sonar somehow, just not sure how to yet, but there is a lot of great info in this thread to get started.

 I thought telling people how to make their own would be sufficient, but I guess it is kind of daunting project.

IMHO, There is a lot more here than meets the eye and ear ....
A person can take one of the chords , groove clip it and then while in the loop construction view they can use the pitch envelope function to modulate the chord along the lines of what a Funk / Blues /Jazz Guitarist would do when they hit a chord and slide it up or down a fret or two ... once you decide to go there the chordal articulations can become endless
example

in the above example, the A 13 chord slides up 4 semitones during the chords ring , then it comes back down to actual pitch ....

That's very cool! Thanks for the validation of "now that it's in the hands of creative people, you'll probably show me ways to use it I never considered." I'm going to have to try this.
 

Thank you for the kind words , they certainly mean a lot too me coming from you
 
The type of treatment I gave your A 13 chord was something I discovered for myself a while back when recording my 8 string guitar into SONAR and using the loop construction tool ....
When I played a held Bass note on my 8 string  , I found that the loop construction tools in SONAR could mimic a mono phonic Moog type of bass thing with the bass register ...
This approach also works fantastic using a regular guitars register  it also works perfectly for giving polyphonic material like chords on a guitar a different type of slant / musical territory when it comes the the phrasing  and string attack
 
Done correctly it is easy to have the first note hit just like on a monophonic synthesizer and all the following notes of the phrase will be played legato ....
 
To reproduce that sound in SONAR , lets say you hit a low E note on your guitar , then you let it ring out for as long as one of your library chords ...once you turn this sound into a groove clip you can play around with changing the pitches of some of the individual slices in the loop construction tool ...
The super cool thing is that you can now do stuff like short range arpeggio's that will mimic what a synth will do while doing it's arp thing .
You could even go with playing off a scale or a group of pre set intervals of your choosing ....
The real beauty of this is approach once you add in the ability to change the gain , pan and pitch of every slice
the tone of your guitar is now doing what was traditionally the territory keyboard players held exclusively  ...
 
I hope you enjoy ,

Since you're into this kind of thing, I'm sure you'll dig the Friday's Tip of the Week for Week 63 - SONAR's Audio (Yes, Audio!) Step Sequencer. It takes what you're talking about to another level.
