Default Guitar Chord Chart in Standard Music Notation

Hi folks,

Looking for a guitar chord chart that shows each chord in standard music notation (on a staff). Any ideas ?

THANKS!

Get a piece of music notation paper and write down whatever chords you want in that notation.

There are many, many chords: finding "each" chord written down isn't going to be likely. It would help to narrow your search to the specific chords in which you are interested.

Might wanna reach out to the people who write the apps that show the fingerings for different chords - seems like adding a button to show notation wouldn’t be too big a challenge, and might make their chord app a bit more unique -

Or, maybe one of them already offers this?

You want to "see" the chord at first glance at the staff ?
I am no pro, but here is my two cents view...

Well, if you learn a bit about scales, chord composition (basically notes 1, 3 and 5), and harmonized chord scales, you should come to your aim: Knowing the scale used (indicated by accidentals # or "b" at the beginning of the staff) would give a good hint about the chords you would most probably meet.

For example, in C, nearby eighty percent of pieces would used C, F and G, the chords I, IV and V of the scale, while in E, you would most probably meet E, A and B(7).

Looking at first few measures would help understand if the piece is quite standard, use a circle of fifth or is using a more complicated pattern as jazzy tunes.

Anyway, you should look at the structure and rythm (pencil in hand) before stepping into playing the piece.

A simple internet search of “guitar chords in standard notation” and then choose “images” yielded an unlimited selection of Charts and websites.
This one looked very informative:

I will probably keep this on hand for my own reference. There appears to be most everything A person needs to know right there.

Mel Bay's Deluxe Guitar Chord Encyclopedia shows the notation (in addition to chord diagrams) for all 336 chords contained therein.
336 may not sound like many, but -

Chords are shown in the keys of C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, Ab, A, Bb, and B.
In each key numerous chord forms are shown in various positions for the following types of chords:
Major
Minor
Diminished
Augmented
Dominant Seventh
Minor Seventh
Seventh Flat Five
Seventh Augmented Fifth
Major Seventh
Major Seventh Flat Third
Minor Seventh Flat Third
Seventh Suspended Fourth
Major Sixth
Minor Sixth
Ninth
Minor Ninth
Major Seventh add Nine
Ninth Sharp Fifth
Ninth Flat Fifth
Seventh Flat Nine
Seventh Sharp Nine
Sixth add Nine
Eleventh
Augmented Eleventh
Thirteenth
Thirteenth Flat Nine
Thirteenth Flat Fifth
Flat Ninth


So it should probably keep you busy for a while.
