GtrLib Chords

Find guitar chords, see where to place your fingers and hear the selected position with GtrLib Chords. Browse by root note and chord type or search by name when you need a chord during practice. Chord diagrams, suggested fingerings and audio playback bring the shape and sound together in one reference.

Find the chord you need
Start with the root note and choose the chord type you want to explore. If you already know the name, use search to reach it directly. The root identifies the note on which the chord is built; it is not the same thing as selecting the key of an entire song. Use the chord name shown in your practice material as the starting point for a lookup.

Read the guitar diagram
A chord diagram shows how a position is arranged on the fretboard. Follow the suggested finger placement and check the strings involved before playing the shape on your guitar. Looking closely at the position is useful when two fingerings share a chord name but sit in different places on the neck.

Explore different positions
Look through the available positions for a chord and compare how they are arranged. One position may suit the phrase you are practicing differently from another. You can consider the movement from the previous chord and the position of the next chord as you choose which fingering to try. This is a manual practice decision, not an automatic song-arrangement feature.

Hear the selected voicing
Play the chosen chord position through the app's audio playback. Listening while looking at the diagram can help you connect the written shape with its sound. Compare available positions as part of your own exploration, then play the shape on your instrument and listen to the result.

Keep useful chords within reach
Return to recently viewed chords while working through an exercise. Recent chords make it easier to revisit a position you have already explored instead of starting a new search each time. Share a chord as a web link when you want to point someone to the chord reference you are discussing.

Use it beside your music material
When a chord symbol is unfamiliar, look it up and inspect the fingering before returning to the passage. When a chord change feels awkward, compare another available position and consider how it fits the shapes around it. You can also choose a chord simply to hear and explore its voicings without working on a particular song.

A practical lookup routine
Choose a root and type, or enter the chord name. Inspect a position, listen to its playback and try it on your guitar. If the shape does not fit the movement you are practicing, explore another available position. Return to recent chords when comparing a small group, and use a web link if you want to share a specific reference.

Know the tuning scope
The charts use standard six-string guitar tuning, E-A-D-G-B-E. Check your instrument's tuning before applying a diagram. Changing the tuning changes where notes occur on the strings, so diagrams intended for standard tuning should not be assumed to represent an alternate tuning. The app is a chord reference with playback rather than a microphone-based guitar tuner.

Finger placement and sound work together during practice. Take time to check the diagram, form the shape and listen to each note you play. The supplied fingering is a reference for exploring the chord, not a guarantee that every position will be comfortable for every player or guitar.

The app interface is in English. GtrLib Chords includes ads and offers an in-app purchase to remove them. For support and more information, visit https://gtrlib.com.

A short sequence of chord lookups can serve as a reference while you work on a progression. The musical exercise and the choice of positions remain yours.
