Names and shapes
Chord tools
The finder answers “what does G minor look like, and which notes are in it?” The transposer answers “this chart is in G and the singer wants A.” The chord-chart PDF answers “I need those diagrams on a stand, not in a tab.” They share a set of open chords and movable E-form and A-form grips in standard tuning. They do not invent exotic voicings.
Tools in this section
Chord finder
Choose a root and a quality: major, minor, 7, maj7, m7, sus2, sus4, add9, dim or aug. See the pitch classes and open or movable grips in standard tuning.
Chord transposer
Paste chords such as G D Em C or D/F#. Shift by key or by semitones. Flat keys are spelled with flats. The tool rewrites names; it does not retune the guitar.
Chord chart generator
Add up to twelve chords, title the page, and download a PDF of the same grips the chord finder draws. The file is built on your device.
How they fit the bench
If the guitar is in half-step down, the shapes stay and the sounding names move. The transposer rewrites the names; it does not turn the pegs. The fretboard trainer is the place to see single notes. The scale chart is the place for a whole scale. This cluster stays with chords.
What a grip is not
A diagram is one playable shape, often the open chord or a barre. There are more voicings on the neck than a page should pretend to list. If the shape says a string is muted, leave it muted. The note list next to it is the pitch classes, not a promise about which octave you grabbed.
Questions
- Do I need standard tuning?
- The diagrams assume EADGBE. In open G or DADGAD the same frets are different chords. Retune first, or do not trust the picture.
- Can I print from here?
- The chart generator builds a PDF on your device. This index only points there.
