❓ FAQ
How does the guitar chord generator work?▼
Select a root note then choose a chord type. The tool draws a chord diagram showing string positions, fret numbers, and finger placement. Open circles = open strings, filled circles = pressed positions, X = muted string.
What chord types are supported?▼
Major, minor, dominant 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, diminished, augmented, sus4, sus2, 6th, m6, 9th, m7b5, dim7, add9, madd9, and 7sus4 chords.
What do the numbers in the diagram mean?▼
Numbers = fingers: 1=index, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=pinky. Left side numbers = starting fret. X = don't play that string, O = play open. Chord name is shown at the top.
Is this good for guitar beginners?▼
Absolutely. Clear diagrams show exact finger positions. Quick chord switches, common chord progressions, and chord tone information make it perfect for learning and practice.
What are chord tones?▼
Chord tones are the specific notes that make up a chord. C major = C (root), E (third), G (fifth). Understanding tones helps with music theory and improvisation.
