Chord library · every place on the neck · how chords grow

Chord library

Pick a chord to see every comfortable place to play it, and how it grows out of simpler chords one finger at a time. Chord popups and the Number lab open here too.

Root

Bass

Dashed = optional — usually dropped on guitar.

Where you'll use it

Not in your course or progressions yet — try it in the Number lab.

Tap a box on the neck or a card below

No comfortable grip for this one — try a different bass note.

Family tree

Each chord grows from the one before it. Shown near place {{ lib.placeNo }} — the ringed dots are the fingers that move.

Movable shapes shown from C, G, D or E roots — slide them to A♭, D♭ and E♭. Under each chart: the shape (low E → high e) and what each note does in the chord.

Pick a key to transpose the chords, then mark it learned once you can play it. Hover or tap any chord for its shape.
