Ideology

I am learning to play guitar and I was frustrated when searching for chords shapes online led me to the websites that did everything other than showing the guitar chord diagram. So I made this simple and functional website that does what it's supposed to do.
The chord shapes may not be complete and exhaustive, I will be adding more in the future.

How to read the diagrams?

The chord diagrams are presented in plain ascii. Each string is represented with its name.

X - don't play that string
O - play the string open
Numeral (1...) - Play the string from that fret
As simple as that.

Don't even want to open the borwser to check chords? I have got you covered!

I have made two command line programs to print chord shapes in the terminal. They are :-

1) chords

A posix script that would print out the chord shape whenever and wherever you want.

2) some_chords

A C program using ncurses library, can be considered as a fancier version of chords.
