All the chords that are fit to print

July 24, 2023 10:18 AM

I have dragged out my old music gear and I forgotten almost everything I am looking for a chord app for guitar (ukulele would be a nice add-on) with a very specific feature. I want to *easily* select chords, add them to a grouping and print out that grouping. Preferably on a single page

Because i want a printed sheet of all the chords I am interested in for a practice session, this is probably a desktop/website as opposed to an app. The chord list does not map to a certain song, and I'm not looking for a play-along like Songster. I just want a reference sheet

As for the easily part, I love the interface on an app called Pocket Guitar Chords and use it for quick lookup

Agnostic about operating system, device, and free/paid

Can you get by with something like https://www.dummies.com/article/academics-the-arts/music/instruments/guitar/guitar-all-in-one-for-dummies-cheat-sheet-209310/?

Or even, print out a couple copies of that and physically (or Paint-ly) make a page that's the subset you're interested in?

To build off of adekllny’s idea … you could take screen shots of the chords in question and paste them into PowerPoint.

Alternatively an online search for “guitar chords font” brings up several options that can be downloaded and then used from your text editor of choice.

Check out Chordius. You workflow would be something like:

1. Search for chords and save them to a collection.
2. Exit the searcher and go to the library.
3. Select all of the chords from your collection in the library and save them to a folder. They will be saved as SVG files.
4. Import the SVG files into a program (even PowerPoint would work) and arrange them as desired. Print from there.

Chordius handles guitar and ukulele.
