This free tool helps you learn chords on Double C banjo (gCGCD) and DADGAD guitar. Press frets on the fretboard to see the chord name and its notes, or pick a chord and get a list of shapes that work on your tuning. It also shows scales and modes on the neck, handles a capo, suggests chords that go with the one you're playing, and has a step-by-step tutorial on why chords are built the way they are.
Double C tuning tunes the five banjo strings to g C G C D, so the open strings already sound like a C sus2 chord. It's popular for old-time and clawhammer playing, and the keys of C, G and F fit it well.
DADGAD tuning tunes the six guitar strings to D A D G A D, so the open strings sound like a Dsus4 chord. It's popular for Celtic, folk and fingerstyle playing, and the keys of D, G and A fit it well.
