Chord Voicing Explorer
Explore every voicing of a chord on guitar — open, barre, triad shapes and drop voicings — and hear how each one changes the sound.
C — every voicing
Notes: C – E – G · Intervals: Root · 3 · 5
Triad voicings — same notes, different order
| Voicing | Notes (bottom → top) | Sound |
|---|---|---|
| Root position triad (strings 1–3) | C – E – G | Stable, grounded |
| 1st inversion triad | E – G – C | Lighter, moves well |
| 2nd inversion triad | G – C – E | Open, floating |
A voicing is the same chord with the notes in a different order or octave. Open chords, barre chords and triads are all voicings of the same notes — the right one depends on the song around it.
How it works: Every chord has many voicings: open position, barre shapes up the neck, and three-note triads on any string set. They share the same notes, so they are the same chord — but the spacing changes the sound completely.
