Show HN: A small tool to visualize guitar chords

Just select a root note and chord type and you'll get diagrams for that chord at common positions. You will find both open chords and barre chords. These diagrams use standard tuning (E A D G B E).

You'll find diagrams for major, minor, augmented, diminished, dominant, 5th, 6th, suspended, and added chords, as well as 7th chords for many of these same chord types.

You might also like the tool for guitar scales and the online tuner.

Here are some simple guidelines on how to read guitar chord diagrams when the diagrams are in their default vertical position:

Each vertical line represents a string on the fretboard, low E is the first vertical line and high E is the last vertical line. Each horizontal line represents a fret mark on the fretboard Each dot represents a finger placement on that fret. The number inside a dot represents the finger to use A note like 3fr means the diagram starts on the 3rd fret A thicker first horizontal line (representing the guitar nut) means that the diagram starts on the 1st fret An 'O' at the top of one of the strings means that the string remains open An 'X' at the top of one of the strings means that the string is not strummed
