1. Accuracy of chord diagrams, scales and intervals

Chord diagrams, scales and intervals on this site follow standard equal-temperament music theory (A4 = 440 Hz). A chord is defined by its notes and intervals: C major is C–E–G, the root, the major 3rd and the perfect 5th, whatever instrument you play it on.

Fingerings are the standard shapes for each instrument — the shapes most players learn first. Alternative voicings exist for almost every chord: the same notes can be played in different positions, with different fingers, or with doubled or omitted notes (the 5th is commonly omitted in extended chords, for example). A diagram that differs from the one you learned is not necessarily wrong — check the notes, not just the shape. Note spellings can also vary by context: the same pitch may be written as F# or Gb depending on the key, and enharmonic equivalents are the same sound with a different name.

We check our diagrams against their notes, but mistakes are possible. If a diagram, fingering or calculation looks wrong, check it against another source and tell us — verified errors are fixed.

2. Not professional instruction

ChordFlow does not teach you to play. It cannot hear your timing, your tone, your hand position or your technique, and it cannot tell you what to practise next. For that, work with a qualified teacher. Nothing on this site is medical, therapeutic or professional advice of any kind.

3. Instruments and tuning

Diagrams assume standard tuning unless stated otherwise: E–A–D–G–B–E for guitar, G–C–E–A for ukulele, E–A–D–G for bass, and G–D–A–E for mandolin. If your instrument is tuned differently, in a different temperament, or to a different reference pitch, the diagrams and the tuner reference tones will not match what you hear. Always tune by ear against a trusted reference and check intonation on your own instrument.

4. Affiliate links and advertising

ChordFlow is supported by advertising and by affiliate links to instrument retailers and music-learning services. If you buy through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links never change a diagram, a calculation or a recommendation, and we do not recommend a product because it pays a commission. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

6. Liability

The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ChordFlow and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
