Chord & FretHarmonic field of C major on guitar
C major: C – D – E – F – G – A – B. In the shapes below, the tonic opens with the bass on C. On the guitar, six strings give the chord room to breathe — some positions use them all, others ask you to mute the lowest ones. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
These are the first positions of every degree of C major on guitar. In Chord & Fret, the Circle of Fifths opens the full field — every degree with all its positions, audio and the key's secondary dominants. Open in Chord & Fret →
