The vertical lines are the strings, low to high from left to right, and the horizontal lines are the frets. The heavy line at the top is the nut, so the diagram shows the first few frets of the neck as you would see it held up in front of you. Dots on the strings are the fingers; a number beside the grid tells you to start somewhere other than the nut.
Five frets is the usual depth, because most chord shapes fit inside it. Turn the nut line off and write a fret number beside the grid when you are drawing a shape further up the neck.
The string count is yours to set, so the same sheet covers most fretted instruments.
Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.
Low string on the left, high on the right — the neck as you see it when you hold the guitar up to look at it. That is the standard for chord boxes in print.
Turn off the heavy nut line and write the fret number beside the top of the grid. Without the nut, the diagram is just a section of neck.
Yes. Set the strings to four for ukulele or bass, five for a five-string bass or banjo. Everything else stays the same.
