Guitar chords
The open chords Strumhold teaches, in the order the app unlocks them. Every chart shows the exact fingering the app drills — pick a chord to see how to play it and which changes to practice it in.
Open Majors
The bright, sturdy chords most songs are built on. These five open shapes carry campfire strumming, folk, and a huge share of pop, and they are where nearly every guitarist starts.
Open Minors
The moodier side of the same neighborhood. Minor chords bring the melancholy in everything from folk ballads to rock anthems, and these open shapes sit right beside the majors you already know.
Open 7ths
Restless chords with a bluesy pull. A 7th always sounds like it wants to move somewhere, which is why blues, country, and early rock and roll lean on these shapes so hard.
Open Minor 7ths
Minor chords with the edges rounded off. Smooth and mellow, they turn up in soul, bossa nova, and anywhere a plain minor feels too heavy.
Open Major 7ths
Dreamy, floating chords that soften a major without turning it sad. Lo-fi and gentle pop are full of them, and songwriters reach for one whenever a plain major feels too cheerful.
