The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.
In its simplest form, ChordPro is used to describe the relationship of chords to lyrics (i.e., where they belong in the song), song sections, and song metadata (i.e., information about the song). All ChordPro markup is optional; yet some elements are less optional than others if the objective is a useful and nicely formatted chord chart.
A guitarist performing a C chord with G bass. In Western music theory, a chord is a group [a] of notes played together for their harmonic consonance or dissonance.The most basic type of chord is a triad, so called because it consists of three distinct notes: the root note along with intervals of a third and a fifth above the root note.

In the piano accordion, the right hand plays chords and melody lines on a small piano-style keyboard, while the left hand plays bass notes and chords on a button board. The accordion is like a miniature organ in its conception, as it has registers (like organ stops) so the player can add octaves or change the tone.
Added tone chord notation is useful with seventh chords to indicate partial extended chords, for example, C 7add 13, which indicates that the 13th is added to the 7th, but without the 9th and 11th. The use of 2, 4, and 6 rather than 9, 11, and 13 indicates that the chord does not include a seventh unless explicitly specified.
The standard tuning, without the top E string attached. Alternative variants are easy from this tuning, but because several chords inherently omit the lowest string, it may leave some chords relatively thin or incomplete with the top string missing (the D chord, for instance, must be fretted 5-4-3-2-3 to include F#, the tone a major third above D).
