Welcome to the Guitar Chord Maker! Here's a quick guide:
Chord Editor Tab: Create, view, manage, and listen
to your guitar chords.
Defining Chords:
Text Inputs: Use the inputs (E, A, D, G, B, e)
for each string. Enter 'x' for muted, '0' for open, or a fret
number (e.g., '1'). Chord names with a lowercase 'o' will
display it as a superscript 'ΒΊ'.
Interactive Fretboard: Click on the fretboard
below the main diagram:
Click a fret to select it.
Click an already selected fret to change it to an open
string ('O').
Use the 'X'/'O' toggles above each string to mark it as
muted or open.
Position: Specify the starting fret if your
chord diagram doesn't start at the nut (fret 0).
Chord Name: Enter a name for your chord. Lowercase
'o' will appear as 'ΒΊ'.
Action Buttons:
Update Display: Refreshes the large chord
diagram with current settings.
Save/Update Chord: Saves the new chord or
updates an existing one in the current project.
New Chord: Clears the editor for a new chord.
Predict Chord Name: Suggests names for the
entered fingering using music theory. A popup will show
