I’d appreciate your feedback
For reasons good or bad I have had to update the website to work with modern browsers, mobile phones etc. To be honest I don’t like it but it had to be done.
Although the site looks quite different, the main thing that has changed (other than the colours) is the navigation. Whereas it all used to be on the left, it is now on the top and on the left. The top navigation should drop down to allow you to choose the main categories and the sub categories then appear on the left. This is for desktop sized browsing. Mobile works a little different in that the left column will move to the top under the main navigation. Hope that makes sense? 🙂
Anyway, let me know what you think, good or bad including problems you might be experiencing. If I can change something without too much difficulty then I will.

hey nice website, I just found this.
Is there an explanation somewhere how to read the diagrams for the different chords? I presume the X means don’t play and 0 means do play that string, even though it’s not technically part of the chord itself.
I couldn’t find any explanation on how to read the images and some have symbols I don’t understand. Like the when the number one appears multiple times in the same diagram, with a sideways parenthesis symbol.
Any chance that this will be explained in the future?
Hi Mirjam. Thanks for commenting.
The explanation is right on the main page http://www.guitar-chords.org.uk/
Hopefully that will answer all your questions, let me know if not.
Is there mobile app of your site .
Thank’s
Hi. No app I’m afraid but should work ok in your mobile browser.
Wonderful work! Simplicity, the key. Thank you so much.
Thank you. 🙂
Nice advice!
I’ve been trying to put together a organized practice session with complete focus on structure, & disipline!
Been playing guitar since 1987 & im just barely in intermediate stage. What a waste huh.
Love the site and would love to see modes added to the “Chords in the key of” with the progressions and such.
Thanks S L.
I could do it but if IMO it would be more .page-filler. than actual usable information. The problem is modal chord progressions are taken from the relative major key so technically they are no different. The typical I IV V in modal terms would probably not work very well in musical terms. Have you read the article on ‘modes explained’ here on this site? That should shed some more light on it if not. Hope that makes sense. Maybe I should put up a discussion section where we can talk tech and theory.
HELLO FRIEND, MY NAME IS VIDHEYA. I’M FROM INDIA. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK AND USEFUL LITERATURE ABOUT GUITAR MUSIC. THIS IS GREAT SITE.
Um could you please not add E sharps and F flats since technically those notes are just F major and E major and don’t necessarily exist. The same with B sharp and C flat otherwise youll be confusing a lot beginner guitarist and music theorists.
This is in the Ab minor chord progression. Not really sure if there are any other issues or not. Other than that you’re doing a great job.
Thank you for your comments. I admit it can be confusing but the reason I include them is that, technically, they do actually exist. Some people will find this information useful. What I will try to do is add an article explaining the reasoning behind it and add a side note where I have included them.
In short, it’s mostly about notation and of more use to those that read music, especially some older sheet music.
Been using this site for ages and loving the new look. Much easier on the eyes. Keep up the great work!~
Thank you 🙂
hello to everyone from ‘Italy. beautiful site. Here I found the best explanations in simple way. thanks thanks thanks .

This is the clearest and most complete description of Music Theory I have seen on any website. It is the best. Well done.
Great resource, thanks.
Greetings from Italy.

OMG! Where was this tutorial 10 years ago; or EVER! Sir, you have blown my mind, transformed my composing and really, really, really greatly improved my SOLO’S. Wow. A profuse gushing thank you will have to suffice. Be well.
Great job and fantastic website – Thanks a lot!!!
Question: Will you add Bebop scales in the future?
Greetings from Sweden.
Thank you all for your comments.
Thomas, thanks for the suggestion, I’ll put it on the list.
I’m teaching guitar students. Question: Can I use your information to help teach, print, and hand out? Your work is awesome!!! Thank you! ~ Lynette Live4Jesus!
Lynette, no problem.
Thanks for asking.
This website will be an enormous help to lousy would-be guitarists like myself. Thank you.
Well said. This man has found a way to explain water to a goldfish. I am humbly and eternally grateful. TELL THE WORLD OF THIS WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!
Nice useful site but your message re cookies suggests that it is the fault of EU law – EU law says that if you are going to place cookies on peoples computers then you have to tell them. If you didn’t have cookies on your site then you would not need to “interrupt” us with the message.
Hi Liam.
Thanks for your input. With respect, I think you’re missing the point. I’m not going to turn this into a long discussion, not here at least, but if it bothers you then I’ll be happy to discuss it further with you on a different page, mostly because this kind of conversation can become very lengthy. In short, all pop ups are rude and intrusive. Cookies have nothing to do with security risks and cannot access information on your computer. Anything that does that is a virus. There are many things on websites and the internet that are far more likely to be cause for concern to the visitor but none of these things require the website owner to display a pop up message about it, far less even be upfront about it.
Thank you so much for this website, no longer will I have to search all over the web trying to figure out explanations, chord, and scale information.
Just found your website. It is excellent and curate, as to my understanding of music. Regarding your explanation of the various diminished chord types, I would like to also add that in all guitar chord books I’ve seen, what is technically (and illustrated as) a diminished 7th chord is mis-identified as just “diminished”. I believe that this is because these 4-finger diminished 7th chords are easier to finger and work with harmonically. Thanx for the great work!
THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL TO ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH..
I’m new to the site. Looks golden. Will be back.
Thank you for your great work in creating this website, so simple to use.
The best I’ve come across.

This has been bugging me……now I must pass it on and relieve the itch. 🙂 The word commissions on the front page bottom is spelled incorrectly. See, now I feel better… 🙂
Thanks for letting me know Tim. Now fixed 🙂
yo! thanks for this site dude, playing guitar 10 years now and still didn’t knew all chord names. now i do!
Awesome work, Lee.
Simple. Effective. A powerful learning tool.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Lee,
A real useful site you made here 🙂
I just finished a beginner course and this site gives me so much information all in one place.
Real easy to figure things out now, no more wasting hours on google trying to find the answer to a (simple) question.
Thanks a lot for sharing this !
Tijs
Thanks Tijs, glad you are finding it useful. 🙂

I have used your great site for years as a source of reference but there no longer seems to be diminished or augmented scales. Are you intending to have the diminished or augmented scales as part of the site. They are really useful for those of us trying to learn jazz guitar. Would very much appreciate an emailed response
Thanks Very Much

Hi John. You’ve got me wondering there? I’m not sure diminished scales were ever added, although I did think they were. Could it be the diminished arpeggios you are thinking of? Either way, I’ll get on it hopefully by the weekend.
Chords in the key of E minor natural
The chord chart below lists the common traid and four note extended chords belonging to the key of E natural minor. Roman numerals indicate each chords position relative to the scale.
‘triad’ is spelled wrong.
‘chords’ should be ‘chord’s’
Thanks for letting me know Jim. Looks like it’s the same on all the minor and major keys. I obviously did a lot of copy and pasting at that point!
I’ll get it fixed later 🙂
Thank you jim for this great site. After all this year… Now i can see it very clear! Thank you.
