# Open Guitar Chords

> Free guitar chords, chord charts and song chord sheets. Learn basic chords, power chords and barre chords, and play songs like Wonderwall, Hotel California and Hey Jude — no signup, no paywall.

Chord pages cover fingering step by step, every position up the neck, note spelling, audio, and the songs in our library that actually use the chord, including the chord it moves to next, counted from real progressions. Song pages include key, capo, difficulty and section-by-section progressions. Rare chord types are grouped into family pages with all twelve roots side by side. All content is free with no signup.

### Modes (same seven notes as one major scale)
- Ionian (starts on the 1st): Identical to the major scale. Bright and settled, because it is simply the major scale.
- Dorian (starts on the 2nd): Flat 3rd and flat 7th, natural 6th kept. Minor, but with a lifted 6th that stops it sounding sad.
- Phrygian (starts on the 3rd): Flat 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th. Spanish and flamenco, from the half step right above the root.
- Lydian (starts on the 4th): Only the 4th is raised. Dreamy and floating, because the 4th is raised and never resolves down.
- Mixolydian (starts on the 5th): Only the 7th is flattened. Major with a flat 7th, which is why it works over dominant chords.
- Aeolian (starts on the 6th): Identical to the natural minor scale. The natural minor scale under its modal name.
- Locrian (starts on the 7th): Flat 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th. Unstable, because the root chord is half diminished.
