ALL CHORDS OF GUITAR UPDATE

At some point I hope to update the code and add the 'thumb option'.Īll information in these pages copyright © 2000-2020 Howard Wright unless otherwise stated. This means that shapes such as 133210 for Fmaj7 will not be listed as they can only be played using four fingers and a thumb. The chord program used to generate these chord lists does not currently make use of the thumb for working out whether a chord is playable or not.

With the chord generator used to produce these chord charts I've done my best to make sure only playable chords are displayed. Fingers and thumbsĪll chord shapes that are listed in the guitar chord charts on these pages should be playable, i.e they don't require you to have more than four fingers! Some other chord dictionary sites and chord generator programs do not take this into account as they may give chord shapes that simply cannot be fingered or that can only be played if you have 5 or more fingers. You can't move the open string chord shapes up and down the neck like this, but open string chords may be easier to finger or may give a nicer sound. If you're looking at chord shapes for Am9 for example, then any of those listed in the 'barre' or 'other moveable shapes' groups can be moved up and down the neck and used as shapes for Bbm9, Bm9, Gm9 and so on. Bar chords, moveable chords, open string chordsįor each chord the different shapes are divided into three groups: barre chord shapes, other moveable shapes, and shapes using open strings. For each combination of root note and chord type a list of many different shapes is listed (usually at least 20 or 30) giving you a choice of different bar chord, moveable or open string chord shapes to try. This list of chord types should cover all basic chords (major, minor, 7, m7, maj7, sus2, sus4, add2, add9, aug, dim, 6, m6 etc) as well as many chromatic or more unusual chords (6/9, m6/9, m/maj7, m/maj9, m11, maj13, 7#9, 7b9 etc). How many guitar chord types?įor each of the 12 root notes (A, A#, B etc) chord shapes for 75 chord types are listed.

Some chords will be harder to play than others (the easiest ones are displayed first) but all those listed should be realistically playable shapes. This number does not include chord shapes that are physically impossible to play. This is a genuine number, not a made-up figure (as you sometimes see on other guitar chord dictionary sites).

The total number of unique guitar chord shapes listed on these pages is a little over 42,000. The idea is to generate all possible ways of playing a particular chord, and to list the chord shapes in a sensible way, e.g easiest and most useful chords first. The guitar chords listed on these pages were generated automatically by a program I developed some years ago (and occasionally still work on). See below for information about this list of guitar chords and the chord generator program that was used to generate the chords. What information is listed for each guitar chord?įollow the links for more information on this guitar chord dictionary and answers to common chord questions.Note that all chords for chromatic notes are listed as sharps, e.g B♭ chords are listed as A♯ chords (these notes are basically the same, so an A♯7 chord shape is the same as a B♭7 chord shape) To find the guitar chord shape you want, click below on the root note of the chord. Guitar chord shapes are listed for 75 chord types (maj7, sus2, add9 etc) covering all 12 keys.
