All the open guitar chords

Every common open chord on one chart: majors, minors, sevenths, major and minor sevenths, sus and add9.

How to read a chord diagram

The vertical lines are the strings, the lowest on the left, and the horizontal lines are the frets, with the nut at the top. A dot is where a finger goes, and its number says which finger: 1 the index, 2 the middle, 3 the ring, 4 the little finger. The root of the chord is marked in colour. An ○ above a string means play it open; an ✕ means do not play it. A number beside the diagram is the fret it starts at.
