Music Theory Guides
Music theory guides that explain how chords, scales and keys actually work — written for players, not textbooks.
Why a chord is more than a shape
A chord diagram tells you where to put your fingers, but it does not tell you why the shape works. A C major chord is C–E–G — the root, the major 3rd and the perfect 5th. Move the E down a semitone to Eb and you have C minor. Add a Bb and you have C7. Every chord on this site shows its notes and intervals alongside the diagram, so the shape and the theory stay together.
The same honesty applies to keys and progressions. The chords in the key of C major — C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim — are not a list to memorise; they are the chords built from the notes of the C major scale, and the Key Finder shows exactly how. A capo does not change the song, it changes the shapes: the Capo Calculator works out what key you are really playing in. Read how we work in our Editorial Policy, and start with the Chord Finder or the Scale Finder.

Frequently asked questions
What notes are in a C major chord?
A C major chord has three notes: C, E and G — the root, the major 3rd and the perfect 5th. On guitar the open position is x32010; on piano it is C–E–G; on ukulele it is 0003.
What is the easiest guitar chord for beginners?
Most beginners start with E minor, C major, G major and D major. E minor needs just two fingers, C major needs three, and together with G and D they cover thousands of songs in the key of G.
What is the difference between a major and a minor chord?
One note: the 3rd. A major chord has a major 3rd (four semitones above the root) and a minor chord has a minor 3rd (three semitones). C major is C–E–G; C minor is C–Eb–G. That one semitone is the whole difference between bright and sad.
How do I transpose a chord to another key?
Move every note of the chord by the same number of semitones. To move C major up two semitones you get D major: C→D, E→F#, G→A. The Chord Transposer does this for a whole progression at once, and the Capo Calculator does the same job for a capo.
What chords are in the key of C major?
Seven diatonic chords: C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor and B diminished. The Key Finder lists the chords, notes and relative minor of every key.
