chord house ::: about

Since 1998, Chord House has been a free reference for guitar and piano chords and scales. Pick a root and a chord or scale and you get the finger positions, notes, and intervals, laid out the way they look in a music book. No ads and no paywall, just a labour of love.

Update, 2026: After years running quietly on autopilot, Chord House is being rebuilt: modern, mobile-friendly, and faster, with audio playback back in, a smarter chord and scale finder, alternative tunings, dark mode, and more. Follow along on the What's new page, and feel free to send feedback as it evolves.
