 GUITAR CHORD DIAGRAMS
THE GUITARIST’S INCREDIBLE CHORD FINDER gives you instant access to
over 1000 chord voicings. The top diagram for each chord is the most common
voicing, followed by two alternates.

STRINGS
: The vertical lines in each diagram represent the six strings of the guitar, with the first
string (high E) on the right.

FRETS
The frets are indicated by horizontal lines. If a chord
voicing is to be played in an upper position the fret
number will appear in the upper left hand corner of
the diagram. For example, the figure 4 in the Ebdim.
diagram refers to the space on the fingerboard just be-
hind (away from you) the 4th fret.

LEFT HAND FINGERS A FEC EDA

The fingers of your left hand are numbered from 1

through 4, starting with your index finger. The num- 2
bered black circles graphically show the correct finger-
ing for that chord. 4

UNPLAYED STRINGS
Strings that are not played are marked with an “’x” at
the top of the diagram.

OPEN STRINGS
Strings with neither a black circle nor an “’x"’ are played
open. (For example: the 1st and 3rd string of the C
chord are played open). L

GCEGCE
BARRING
This figure — ~~ -~~indicates that several strings
are ‘barred’, held down simultaneously
with the fin-
ger shown. The C7 diagram on the right shows the first
finger barring all six strings behind the third fret.

NOTE NAMES
The letter at the bottom of each string names the
GCGBEG |
individual notes of that particular chord.
[Ea et

ELECTRIC BASS NOTES

STRINGS
When using a diagram to find an electric bass note,
just use the four bottom strings in the shaded part
of the diagram. These lower strings are the same on
guitar and electric bass.

FRETS
The frets are indicated by horizontal lines. If a note
is to be played in an upper position, the fret number
will appear in the upper left hand corner of the dia-
gram. For example, the figure 4 in the Ebdim. diagram
refers to the space on the fingerboard just behind (away
from you) the 4th fret.

FINDING THE ROOT

The black circie on the string indicated by an arrow
shows the root of the chord. In diagrams where there
is no arrow, the root is shown by a white circle.
OTHER BASS NOTES
Generally the bass player does not play full chords but must know where the differ-
ent members of the chord (for example, root, 3rd, or 5th) occur. Any of the notes
shown with 6-string fingerings can be played as a bass note at your discretion.

LEFT HAND FINGERS im |

The fingers of your left hand are numbered 1 through
4, starting with your index finger. The fingering num-
bers in the black circles apply basically to the 6-string
guitar and can be changed for ease of playing the
electric bass.

NOTE NAMES
The letter at the bottom of each string shows the note
that will sound on that string.

OPEN STRINGS E
aoe
Strings with neither a black circle nor an “x” are
played open. (For example: the low E string of the
E6 chord is played open.)
