The diagram will update automatically to show you the notes on the fretboard under this new tuning. To see the notes across the entire fretboard for the Drop-D tuning, simply edit the tuning description to change the first string from E to D. Just list the note to which each string is tuned in the box marked "Tuning".įor example, to tune your guitar to the popular Drop D tuning you lower the pitch of the low E string (the thickest, top-most string) by one full step, from E to D. In addition to the standard tuning for guitar or for bass guitar, you can create fretboard charts for an arbitrary tuning. (You can also use the "Generate" button to trigger a refresh if you need to.) The guitar neck diagram will update automatically as you make changes to the form, so there's no need to "submit" the form or reload the page to see the impact of a change to the configuration. But we'd like to think this fret map is pretty easy to use, so feel free to just poke around with the controls above. These tips are intended to help you take full advantage of the tool. See the note for every fret on each string on the neck of your guitar in any tuning, any number of frets or number of strings.įor example, you can create a guitar fingerboard note map, bass guitar fingerboard map, a custom 5 string bass fretboard map (B E A D G tuning), and so on. If you have any problems or suggestions with any of this stuff, feel free to reply here, message me direct, or add an issue to the Github repo.Use this interactive tool to create a map of the notes on the neck of your guitar. Maybe allow users to specify the size of the output diagram?.Maybe draw a “barre” shape where a finger covers multiple frets? Currently I just do multiple dots with the same finger number.Currently the template only works for frets 1-4.Limitations and possible future improvements: Most of the chords up to the end of JG Grade 2 already written in as presets.Choose a chord from a list of presets, or enter your own custom chord, set the fretting/fingering however you like.The note that results from the fretting of each string is shown on the diagram (inside the “nut”).High visual contrast in markers for open vs.The distance between the frets gets smaller as you go to higher frets because why not.The vertical lines go from thick to thin, to help you orient the diagram against the fretboard.Source code: GitHub - direvus/guitarchords: Generator for guitar chord diagrams The source code is also released on Github if you want to download and run it on your own computer, or customise it for your own needs. If you like the way this template looks, you are more than welcome to use it to generate your own diagrams. I promise I eventually did use the tool to generate a bunch of chord diagrams and then assemble them into my own chord book.Īnyway, I’ve just finished building a web UI for the tool so anyone can use it. But I’m a software guy and sometimes I just can’t help myself. You may be thinking, “but Brendan, that wasn’t the assignment”, and, look … you would not be totally wrong about that. So I went ahead and designed my own template, and wrote a software tool to generate chord diagrams using the template. So when Justin’s lessons said I should make my own chord book, I wasn’t really delighted with any of the existing chord diagram formats I was seeing online.
