Chord reference

Every common chord, in every key. Each page has 10+ voicings (five CAGED full-chord shapes for guitar, triad shapes mapped up the neck on each string set, 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.
