Virtual guitar
Choose a chord, pick individual strings or strum across all six.
PLAY SIX STRINGS
Choose a shape. Hear each string.
This virtual instrument uses standard E–A–D–G–B–E tuning. Click a string's fret to change its pitch, then strum the shape you made.
On a phone, scroll the fretboard sideways. The selected circles show the current fingering; × mutes a string. Tap ♪ to hear one string.
Choose a chord or edit a fret, then press Strum. Audio starts after your click.
C3 · E3 · G3 · C4 · E4
Strum a chord, change to another shape, then follow a steady beat. This is a synthesized guitar, not a recording of physical strings.
LEARN BY PLAYING
Try the same chord different ways.
Load a familiar guitar chord such as C, G, Am or Em. Click each string to hear the note, then use downstroke and upstroke to compare the voicing. Change one fret to experiment with a new shape.
Muted strings are not played during strums. Every position uses standard guitar tuning, and playback uses browser-generated sound rather than a sampled acoustic guitar.
