All the Chords you need!

Your Chord Vocabulary.

There are roughly 22,000 chords on the guitar.

Yes, 22,000! Do you need to know all of them in order to play the guitar? No, but it is always a good thing to continuously build your chord vocabulary.

Beginners usually learn most of the open-string chords in many of their first guitar lessons. Every once in a while, a strange-looking chord will pop up in a song, and you might have no idea how to interpret the name of the chord. There are so many names of chords, so many symbols to know - and the ultimate goal would be able to know how to play these chords, right off the top of your head - just like reading words in a book.

Okay, so there must be some sort of way to learn chords easily. There is. Build your song repertoire. The more songs you know how to play, the more chords you will learn by default.

The following comprehensive list of chords are most of the chords you will need to know to play literally thousands of songs. Some are easy, open-string, beginner chords and some are a little more difficult to play. Over time, everyone can learn every single one of these chords - but you’ve got to practice them daily.

Every chord is charted out in “tablature” form. If you don’t know how to read tablature, watch this 5-minute video.

Each button below will take you to the name of the chord family. If you are trying to find how to play the “G minor 7th” chord, go to the “G” button. If you are looking for a jazz chord, like the “D Major 9th” chord, click the “D” button.
