How to find a guitar chord
Pick the chord's root note — the letter the chord is named after, like C, G or F# — then choose the chord type: major, minor, dominant 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, sus4, add9 or diminished. The chord finder instantly draws every common voicing on the fretboard, from the easiest open shape near the nut to movable barre and CAGED shapes higher up the neck. Each diagram shows exactly where to press, which strings to play open, and which to mute.
How to identify a chord you're already playing
If you know the notes you're fretting, a chord is named from the intervals between them: a root, a third (major or minor) and a fifth make a basic triad, and adding a seventh or extension changes the name. Match the notes you're playing against the voicings here to confirm the chord, or open the interactive trainer and build the shape to see which chord and scales fit it.
Open, barre and CAGED voicings explained
The same chord can be played in several places on the neck. Open voicings use unfretted strings for a bright, ringing sound and are easiest for beginners. Barre voicings move a single shape anywhere on the neck so one grip covers every key. CAGED voicings link five movable shapes so you can play any chord in five positions and connect them into smooth chord changes and solos. Use the position selector above to compare them and pick the voicing that fits your song.
