Most of the chords on this page are of the movable type (not the open chords though). The O symbol at the left side of the chord diagram indicates that those strings are played open. This means that most of the chords on this page cannot be strummed, but should be played fingerstyle, with your thumb and first 3 fingers of the right hand.

The X symbol at the left side of the chord diagram indicates that those strings are not to be played. The numbers (1, 2, 3, and 4) at the right side of each chord diagram indicate which fingers to use to fret the chord. The numbers inside the black circles indicate the chord tone. The black circles are the other notes of the chord. Most chords in this dictionary have a C root. Quartal Chords Based on the C Dorian Scale (String Set 1-2-3-4)Ī red circle represents the root (aka 1) of the chord.
