Guitarists use capos, which are devices that clamp down the strings to create a movable nut, to play open chords in different keys. With a capo on the first fret, the guitarist can finger the shape of the open A minor chord, but the result will be a B ♭ minor chord. Open chords on guitar are used in a wide range of popular music and ...
The ChordPro (also known as Chord) format is a text-based markup language for representing chord charts by describing the position of chords in relation to the song's lyrics.

The term also expresses the fact that, compared to Major chord open tunings, by fretting the lowered string at the first fret, it is possible to produce a major chord very easily. [14] Cross-note or open E-minor was used by Bukka White and Skip James. [15] Cross-note tunings include (low to high): Cross-note A: E-A-E-A-C-E
An illustration shows a naive C7 chord, which would be extremely difficult to play, [50] besides the open-position C7 chord that is conventional in standard tuning. [ 50 ] [ h ] The standard-tuning implementation of a C7 chord is a second-inversion C7 drop 2 chord, in which the second highest note in a second inversion of the C7 chord is ...
Open chords for beginners. These chord shapes can be moved across the fretboard, unlike the chord shapes of standard tuning. More movable chord-shapes. In all guitar tunings, the higher-octave version of a chord can be found by translating a chord by twelve frets higher along the fretboard. [6]
Guitarists typically use barre chords to voice chords in higher positions. Keys that don't have many open notes in standard tuning (hence few or no open chord fingerings) require many barre chords. The two most commonly barred notes are variations on the fingering shapes of A and E in first (open) position. The E-type barre chord is an E chord ...
The following three chords are all C-major triads in root position with different voicings. The first is in close position (the most compact voicing), while the second and third are in open position (that is, with wider spacing). Notice also that the G is doubled at the octave in the third chord; that is, it appears in two different octaves.
