Settings

Limit Finger Span

Some guitar players can stretch their fingers to span a 5 fret range, but some of us have small hands, or just want a chord shape that's easier to play :) You can limit the finger span to 3, 4, or 5 frets so you'll only see shapes you can play comfortably.

Inversion

Show all inversions, or choose to see only chord shapes in Root Position, 1st Inversion, or 2nd Inversion. For those who don't know, the "inversion" describes the lowest note (aka the bass note) in the chord. For C Maj (C, E, G) – Root Position has a "C" in the bass, 1st Inversion has an "E" in the bass, and 2nd Inversion has a "G" in the bass.

Allow String Skips

Some chord voicings (like Drop 3, Drop 2 and 4) involve playing a string, then skipping a string, then playing another string. We call this a "string skip". You can allow up to 2 string skips, 1 string skip, or "none" to show only chord shapes that don't involve skipping strings.
