Chords, scales and tunings, all in one place
A reference library for guitarists: chord charts with finger positions for every common chord in every key, scale patterns drawn on the neck with their notes and intervals, and alternate tunings from Drop D to DADGAD with the songs and styles they’re used for.
Each page is built to answer one question fast — how do I play this chord, which notes are in this scale, how do I tune to this — and then links to what you need next: related chords in the same key, the scale to solo over them, and the guides that explain the theory.
Pair it with the free online tuner and metronome, or take the whole library with you in the FRET app, where chord diagrams, scales on the neck and every tuning are available offline.
