About blank chord charts
A chord diagram shows one slice of the fretboard. Vertical lines are the strings, horizontal lines are the frets, and the heavy line at the top is the nut. Fill in the dots to record a voicing. Use four strings for ukulele or bass and six for guitar, then add as many frets as the shape needs.
Each blank chord diagram is one slice of the fretboard — vertical lines are strings, horizontals are frets, and the heavy line at the top is the nut. Fill in dots to record a voicing. Use six strings for guitar or four for ukulele and bass, and add as many frets as the shape needs.
Rows of empty diagrams are perfect for lesson handouts, songwriting and mapping out voicings up the neck.

Printing at the right size
Every sheet is drawn in real units, so it prints true to size as long as you print at 100%. In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% and turn off “Fit to page” or “Shrink oversized pages” — then a 5 mm square really measures 5 mm. Download a vector SVG to edit later, a PNG at up to 600 dpi, or a ready-to-print PDF. Everything is generated in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and every sheet is free to print for personal, classroom and commercial use. See the guide to printing at true size or the FAQ for more.
