Guitar Wiz – Chords

Search guitar chords or find them on a webpage. Offline diagrams, sampled guitar playback, favorites and local page scanning.

Guitar Wiz – Chords is a guitar chord finder and offline chord library for Chrome. Look up a chord by name, or find chord symbols in a song sheet, lesson, or other webpage. See how to play each chord, compare fingerings, and hear it with sampled guitar audio. SEARCH GUITAR CHORDS Open Guitar Wiz from the Chrome toolbar and choose Search chords. Type a familiar symbol like G or Am, a chord name like A minor, or a more specific voicing request like Cmaj7 or D/F#. Autocomplete helps you find the chord you mean. • Read guitar chord diagrams with fret positions, finger numbers, and open and muted strings. • Browse alternate voicings to find a shape that suits your playing or sits closer to the chord you’re coming from. • Use shape filters to focus on lower fret positions or easier fingerings. • Explore major and minor chords, suspended and diminished chords, seventh chords, extended chords, and slash chords. • See the notes and intervals in a chord and explore available inversions. • Hear a chord or play individual notes with bundled guitar samples. • Save favorite shapes and return to recently viewed chords. The toolbar popup is handy for a quick lookup during practice. Open the full view when you want more room to compare shapes, study the notes, or explore the fretboard. FIND CHORDS ON A WEBPAGE When a song sheet or guitar lesson includes chord notation, open Guitar Wiz, choose This page, and select Find chords on this page. The Chrome side panel displays the detected chords beside the source so you can keep reading while you look up a fingering. • Browse small chord diagrams at the top of the results and select one for a larger view. • See how often a chord appears and move between its occurrences in the source. • Use the blue outlines around detected symbols to open the matching chord in the side panel. You can turn the outlines off whenever you like. • Browse alternate shapes and hear the selected chord while the lesson or song sheet stays open. • Follow recognizable chord progressions in the order they appear. • Transpose a detected progression to another key, including the bass notes of slash chords, then copy it or save it locally for practice. For example, if a lesson shows G, D, Em, and C, scan the page to bring those shapes together. Check the fingering for Em, return to its place in the verse, and try the progression in a different key. The original webpage text stays intact. EXPLORE THE GUITAR FRETBOARD Open Fretboard explorer to see where the notes of the selected chord occur in standard tuning. Amber markers labeled R identify roots, and separate markers show which notes belong to the selected shape. Choose Show roots only to concentrate on the root positions, or show all chord tones to study the pattern across the neck. Select a note to hear it. Use Flip to change the fretboard orientation, and Guitar Wiz remembers your preference. The fretboard helps you connect a diagram to the notes under your fingers. Use the curated voicing diagrams when you need a playable fingering, and use the explorer to see where those notes recur elsewhere on the neck. KEEP A CHORD REFERENCE CLOSE DURING PRACTICE Learning your first open chords? Check the finger numbers and listen to the shape before you play it. Working through a lesson with unfamiliar notation? Scan the page and keep the diagrams beside the instructions. Writing a progression? Compare voicings, examine the chord tones, or transpose a sequence you found and save it for later. The extension includes light, dark, and system appearance settings. The chord library, diagrams, and guitar samples are bundled, so lookup, playback, and saved favorites work offline. You can use the extension without an account or the Guitar Wiz native app. LOCAL SCANNING AND STORAGE Page analysis starts when you request a scan. Guitar Wiz processes accessible visible webpage text in Chrome and keeps scan results temporarily for the side panel. Page text stays on your device. Favorites, settings, and saved progressions are stored locally. A saved progression includes its source URL only if you choose to include it. The scanner recognizes written chord notation. It can miss ambiguous symbols and cannot read chords from audio, video, images, canvas-rendered text, or inaccessible frames. Chrome internal pages and the Chrome Web Store are unavailable for scanning. Chrome’s file access setting is required to scan a local HTML file.
