Voicing Finder

Type any chord and get shapes you can actually play. Not every fingering a computer can find — a hand-picked set, with the ones most guitarists already know first.

A members’ tool

The Voicing Finder is unlocked for Gold and Platinum patrons. Type any chord and it gives you playable shapes for it — hand-picked rather than computer-generated, essentials first, in every position on the neck.

Sign in with the account linked to your Patreon membership to check your access, or join at the Gold tier or above to unlock it.

The Chord Decoder and Name That Chord are free, and between them cover what a chord contains and what to call one.

Learn to build these yourself

Every shape here comes from a handful of templates altered a note at a time. Learn the alterations and you won’t need the tool — you’ll build the chord you want wherever your hand happens to be.
