Moveable Chord Charts

---

This page contains enough chords to last a lifetime. They are all in moveable form, which means they can be used anywhere on the guitar! So, for each chord you learn, you actually gain a whole bunch of chords. In other words, when you learn a chord, you can use that chord in any of the 12 keys, so you've effectively learned 12 chords!

Easy to use

There are several versions of each chord type. They are arranged so that you can find a root note at whichever string you want by selecting a version in that row. That is, if you were looking for a maj7 chord with a root note on the 3rd string, click on maj7 in the third row (also try the 1st and 5th rows, to look for octaves). Simply match up the 1 on the chart with the key you want to use and voila, you have that chord type rooted on that string!

Great for studying how chords relate to each other

Want basic chord charts?

If you're looking for basic "strumming" chords to play along with a simple chord chart, try my Basic Charts page. It's in the same format, but the chords are done by note name instead of by interval. It should be much easier to follow.

For further study

If you want to learn more (a lot more) about how chords are constructed and used, I highly recommend Ted Greene's Chord Chemistry. It covers ear training, chord construction, chord usage, voice leading, arranging, chord substitutions, and more. It also has an extensive chord dictionary with more chords than you'll ever use. Get it!
