How to Use the Chord Finder

Select a root note (C, C#, D, etc.) and a chord quality (major, minor, 7, maj7, m7, or sus4). The chord diagram appears showing the fretboard with finger positions marked. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use. An X above a string means don't play that string. An O means play it open.

How to Read a Chord Diagram

A chord diagram represents the guitar fretboard viewed from the front. Vertical lines are strings (low E on the left, high E on the right). Horizontal lines are frets. Dots show where to place your fingers. The number inside a dot is the recommended finger (1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = pinky). A thick bar across multiple strings indicates a barre chord.
