Chord reference

Fifty common chords. Each page has 10+ voicings (five CAGED full-chord shapes for guitar, three triad shapes on different string subsets, three or four piano voicings including inversions), the theory behind the chord, the common progressions it appears in, and real songs that lean on it. Pick a root and a quality to narrow the list, or tap any chord to open it.
