Twenty Chords Worth Knowing — Guitar Chord Print

Twenty chord shapes that between them carry most of the songs ever written, drawn as clean diagrams and grouped the way you actually learn them: majors, minors, dominant sevenths, then the barre shapes and the ones that add colour.

Every box shows the strings to mute, the strings to play open, and where the fingers go. Barres are drawn as a single bar rather than a row of dots, because that is what your finger is doing. Learn the first two rows and you can play along with almost anything on the radio.

A genuinely useful thing to have on a wall rather than buried in a phone — which is the whole argument for a chart like this.

How it is made

Unframed prints are made in the UK on 170gsm silk poster stock, rolled in tissue and sent in a rigid tube.

Framed editions are a step up: the same design printed on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper, set in a classic moulding behind a perspex glaze — lighter than glass, safer in a room where people play, and it survives the post. No mount, so the image runs full bleed to the frame. Arrives ready to hang.

Sizes

A4 is 21 × 29.7 cm, A3 is 29.7 × 42 cm, A2 is 42 × 59.4 cm. A2 is the one most people mean by "a proper poster" — if it is going above a desk or a record player, that is the size to pick. Our print sizes guide has the full measurements and hanging heights.

Made to order

Every print is made when you order it, so allow 3–5 working days before it ships. Nothing sits in a warehouse fading.
