The first chord (A major) shows fingers 2, 3 & 4. See the chord construction chart if you're ready to learn more about chord formulas and want to try making your own chord shapes.įingering is only shown where it may not be obvious which fingers to use but is always only a suggestion. The numbers above each string show the intervals above the chord's root. The chart above shows additional information not usually included in chord diagrams. The ones shown here are typical and common shapes. To save space, only chords on natural roots are included, but see below for information on moving shapes on the guitar fretboard to play sharp/flat versions of the chords.Ĭhords are combinations of specific notes, and as the guitar has many duplicated notes, there are many more fretboard shapes possible for each chord.
