Voicings, best first

Nothing here is looked up — every shape is searched for on the neck. Click a note to hear it, or strum the whole voicing.

There is no chord dictionary behind this. Every fingering is found by searching the neck one hand position at a time, keeping only the combinations that cover the chord and fit under four frets, then ranking what survives by how playable it is.

That is why the tuning selector works on chords nobody has tabulated. Switch to DADGAD or the ukulele and the same code answers, because the tuning is an input rather than an assumption.

How it works

An interactive fretboard that finds playable fingerings for any chord in any tuning by searching the neck under physical constraints. It ships no chord dictionary, which is why it works in tunings nobody has tabulated.
