Guitar Chord Chart, Letter Size, Free Printable PDF
Steel-string chord grids use six vertical lines for strings and dots where fingertips press. This portrait sheet prints twelve open-position and seventh shapes with finger numbers sized for a music stand at arm's length.
Chart guide and related links
Piano charts show keyboards; ukulele charts show four strings and GCEA tuning. Open those when you teach those instruments, not six-string guitar.
Switch chord set to beginner or worship voicings, paper size, or diagram color in the controls below before you print a classroom batch.
