Guitar tunings list

Every tuning the Chartless tuner knows, with the notes low to high. Linked ones have their own chord chart or guide.

Drop tunings move the low string and leave the rest alone. Open tunings retune several strings so the guitar rings a chord with nobody fretting anything, which is great right up until you try your usual chord shapes. That's what the linked charts are for.

A tuner that knows the target

Pick any of these in the Chartless tuner and each string shows how far it is from what that tuning wants, not just the nearest note. Then play a song and it'll chart the chords shaped for the tuning you're in.
