Basic Guitar Chords is a fast, no-nonsense chord reference for guitarists who are practicing on a real instrument — not a virtual one. Look up any chord, see exactly where your fingers go, and hear what it's supposed to sound like. That's it. No lessons, no scores, no gamification — just a clean chord book that fits in your pocket. What's inside: • 144 chords — every root note (C through B) across 12 chord types: major, minor, 7, m7, maj7, dim, dim7, aug, sus2, sus4, 7sus4, and power chords • Realistic fretboard diagrams — proper string gauges, fret markers, barre chords shown correctly, and open chords displayed the way beginners actually learn them • Reference sound — a plucked-string tone for every note and a one-tap Strum to hear the full chord • Auto mode — repeats the chord every few seconds on its own, so you can keep both hands on your guitar instead of tapping the screen • Key transpose & Drop D — shift any chord shape up or down to match your voice, or drop the low string a whole step Built for players who already know their way around a guitar and just need a quick, accurate reference — not another app trying to teach you music theory.
