Every chord shape, by type

Fret notation reads low E to high E — x means mute the string, 0 means play it open, and a number is the fret to press. The fingers column reads the same way: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. Chords with two names are listed under the one you are likelier to see on a chart — Bb, not A#.
