Hundreds of voicings. Not just the obvious ones.
Over 2.5 million playable voicings across 16 tunings - and it recalculates for any custom tuning. The library grows with you: beginners get 50,000 shapes, advanced players unlock 170,000 per tuning. Narrow things down by difficulty, fret range, barre chords, and more. Every voicing shows you exactly how to finger it, with a difficulty rating so you know what you're getting into.
Explore the Chord ExplorerSee why some chord changes feel harder than others.
Fretscape looks at what actually happens when you move between two chords - how far your fingers travel, which ones stay in place, whether you're adding or dropping a barre. One clear answer: which fingering makes your next change easier.
Learn about transitionsThe smoothest path through your chord progression.
Pick your voicings. For a simple four-chord progression, Fretscape checks over 100,000 possible transitions across 40+ physical movement factors to find the path your hands actually want to take - even if that means a slightly harder voicing for one chord that makes every change around it easier.
See how it worksKnow why one fingering is easier than another.
The same chord shape can be played with different fingers. Fretscape rates each option across 45+ factors - stretch, barre type, finger crowding, thumb usage - and tags each one so you can see at a glance why it's easier or harder.

Tap frets on an interactive fretboard and instantly see the chord name, intervals, and notes. See alternative interpretations too - that shape you love might have a name you didn't expect.
Try chord identificationKey detection that actually gets it right.
As you build your progression, Fretscape automatically detects the key and mode - including modes like Dorian and Phrygian. It handles blues 7ths, borrowed chords, and power chords that trip up most key finders. Tested against a huge library of real songs across every genre.
