Chord Diagrams

Chordle will automatically generate chord diagrams for all the chords it finds in a song. To show them, choose the Show chord charts option from the menu at the bottom of the screen:

Instrument selection

You can select from a number of instruments for which to show the chord diagrams:

Other options listed with their tunings are Guitalele (A D G C E A), Guitar Curtis Mayfield (F# A# C# F# A# F#), Guitar drop-D (D A D G B E), Keyboard, Mandolin (G D A E), Ukulele D-tuning (A D F# B), Ukulele baritone G (D G B E), Ukulele slack-key (G C E G), and Ukulele standard C (G C E A). Below the menu is a display showing the selected guitar tuning next to a fretboard diagram for an Am chord.

Chord fingering variations

Each chord can be pressed to reveal a selection of other fingering variations, as well as the notes that make up the chord. Any of these variations can be selected as the chord to show for the song you currently have open:

Selecting a different variation will update the chord diagram shown in the song, and your selection will be saved as part of the song.

💡 When Keyboard is the selected instrument no variations will be shown, but the notes that make up the chord still will.

Choosing the default instrument

The default instrument can be selected in the settings screen.
