Learn all common chords for the guitar (Acoustic and Electric) in every key, with up to 3 positions for each chord.

Select a chord from the main menu which takes you to a menu of that chord in all keys. Choose the key you want to view and the app will display a fretboard with each position available for that chord.

Position 1: Circles
Position 2: Squares
Position 3: Diamonds

Learning different chords in different keys is essential for any guitar player as it allows you to expand your repertoire and create more unique sounds. Many famous songs use the chords featured within this app!
Knowing more than one position of a chord is great for flexibility and making movements between chords easier, which in turn makes for better guitar playing.
