Free Guitar Chord Image Library

About the chord diagrams…

In the end, I decided to include chords I, ii, IV, V and vi in a range of keys. The keys represented are: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, B flat, E flat and A flat.

Of course there are multiple ways to play each of the chords and just one option has been shared here. I have included a blank fretboard image though so you can create your own diagrams, or you can distribute it to students so they can write out their own chord diagrams (a good learning/reinforcement experience in itself!).

Also included in the collection are two generic power chord diagrams – one on the E string and one on the A string. You can let students know which fret they should use for the power chord shape.

Each chord diagram has a transparent background so you can use it on coloured documents and presentations.
