About the chord chart
Look up any chord and see how to actually play it: a guitar fretboard diagram in standard tuning, or a close-position voicing on a piano keyboard, along with the notes that make up the chord. Where a chord has more than one common guitar shape, step through the alternates instead of being stuck with just one fingering.
How to use it
- Pick a root note and a quality (major, minor, 7th, sus4, and more) from the dropdowns.
- Switch between guitar and piano to see that instrument’s voicing.
- On guitar, use the arrows to cycle through alternate fretboard shapes for the same chord.
- Press play to hear the voicing on display.
Tips
- When a progression feels like a hand grenade of position changes, check alternate guitar voicings for one that’s physically closer to the chord before or after it.
- Playing a major chord and then its minor version is a quick way to learn chord construction by ear — listen for how the third changes.
FAQ
Does this cover unusual chords, not just major/minor?
Yes — sevenths, suspended, diminished, augmented, add chords, and more are in the quality dropdown.
Is the fretboard always standard tuning?
Yes — voicings here assume standard EADGBE tuning. For a custom tuning, the tuner’s custom-tuning mode will at least tell you the open-string notes to work from.
