PENTATONIC CHORD EXPLORER

Shape & StringFind the chords you already know.

Start with a familiar position outline. Follow the tonic to connect one chord across the neck, or explore the key to change chords around a fixed region. The bright three-note grip belongs to the selected full voicing. The focus window stays centered; drag the board background to explore the notes beneath it. Faint gray rings show alternative voicings of the same chord; use their form buttons to select them. Orange strokes show barres. Use the Ascending direction switch to make pitch rise to the left or right. Low E always stays at the top. Wheel to pan; Ctrl + wheel to zoom. All coordinates are movable: there is no nut or absolute fret numbering.
