From a chord name to a playable shape.

  1. Enter a chord

    Open the Guitar Wiz toolbar popup and type a symbol or name, such as Am, Cmaj7, F sharp minor or D/F#. Choose an autocomplete result.

  2. Choose a playable shape

    Browse curated Guitar Wiz voicings. The diagram shows open and muted strings, frets and finger numbers. Shape options let you filter by highest fret or choose easier shapes.

  3. Hear it and keep it

    Play the sampled guitar voicing or tap an individual note. Save a favorite shape and reopen it later, even offline.

Go further on the fretboard.

Notes, intervals and fret positions stay in view. Open Fretboard explorer to see roots in amber and the selected shape’s notes across standard tuning. Tap a tone to hear its pitch.

The neck starts with the nut on the left and high E at the top. Use Flip to change orientation; the extension remembers your choice. Fretboard marks show chord-tone locations, while the supplied library shapes provide the curated fingerings.
