Introduction
I read somewhere that there are upwards of a quarter million possible guitar
chords. Although not all of these chords are found here, you will find what I feel
are the best chord fingerings available for each chord including where possible,
alternate fingerings for the same chords. Also, I have included numerous great
sounding open string chords. All the chords presented here are positioned at or
below the ninth fret and have their root as the bass note (unless otherwise
indicated) in the sixth, fifth, or fourth string formations commonly used for playing
rhythm guitar.
The chord fingerings shown here are for a standard (EADGBE) tuned guitar and
are notated in a system commonly used by guitarists on the Web. The numbers
indicate the fret on each string that you need to finger to make each chord. An "x"
is used to indicate a string that is not to be played while an "0" is used to indicate
that an open string is to be played. An "a" is used to show a fingering at the 10th
fret, a "b" is used for the 11th and so on. The common first position "C" chord
fingering would be notated as "x32010" and the "C" Barre chord fingering would
be notated as "8aa988." Each chord symbol shows the notes that are used to form
the chord and several suggested chord fingerings. Notes marked "()" are considered
optional. The first column shows "Open String Chords, the second column shows
"Barre" Chords, and the third column shows "Jazz/Other" Chords.
To use the MoneyChords Guitar Chord Dictionary, just click below on the chord
that you are looking for. To help you sort through the many possible choices, I
have noted the chord fingerings I find most useful by underlining them. If you
click on the underlined fingering you will be linked to a chord diagram showing
you which fingers I use to grab the chord. The index finger is shown as a "1". The
middle finger is designated as a "2". The ring finger is notated as a "3" and the
little or pinky finger as a "4". Strings that are not to played are marked with an "x".
Strings without a finger number or an "x" are to be played as an open string.
