Chord Diagrams
Wondering how to play a chord? Now you can find out without leaving the page.
- Hover over any chord (desktop) or tap it (mobile) to see a guitar chord diagram pop up
- Many chords have multiple voicings — use the ‹ and › arrows to browse between them
- Slash chords like G/B or D/F# show the correct specific fingering, not just the base chord
- Works even after you transpose the song to a different key
Lyrics Only
Want to focus on the words without the chord clutter? Now you can.
- Hit Lyrics Only to hide all chord lines and read just the lyrics
- Hit Show Chords to bring them back
- Stays active even if you change the key
Bug Fixes
- Several chord diagrams were showing incorrect fingerings — 11 chords corrected including F, F#, Em, Dm, F#m, G#m, Fsus2, Fsus4, G#sus4, and C#dim
- Slash chords like Bb/F that appeared with extra spacing (e.g. Bb /F) now display correctly
