Each diagram shows the guitar standing upright. The thick low E string is on the left. A circle means an open string; a cross means leave that string out. Numbers in the dots suggest fingers. Read how to read chord diagrams for a full explanation.
Start with the common shapes below, or search the full library by chord name. The root filter includes sharp and flat names for the same pitch. Some chords have several voicings: different fret positions for the same chord.
Chord audio needs JavaScript and browser audio support. Every shape has a diagram and written fret positions.
Play chord gives a short synthesised reference sound, strummed from the low E string towards the high E string. It uses the exact notes in the diagram. It is a pitch guide; your guitar's tone will be different.

Common open and movable chords
Play each string separately to check the shape. For F major and B minor, the index finger presses more than one string. If that is difficult, try the beginner barre-chord alternatives.

Full chord library
Choose a letter to browse, or use the search and filters above. The library includes alternate and repeated shapes. Fret numbers in the text are counted from the nut, from low E to high E. Some original labels needed correcting to match their saved notes; “About this shape” explains them. Four unresolved shapes are listed by their pitch sets.
