About ChordBridge
ChordBridge is a free online tool designed to help musicians understand how chords translate between guitar and piano. Whether you're a guitarist learning piano, a pianist picking up guitar, or a music student studying theory, our visual diagrams make the connection between instruments clear and intuitive.
Each chord page shows you the exact finger positions on a guitar fretboard alongside the corresponding piano keys. This side-by-side comparison makes it easy to see the musical relationship between instruments and understand why certain notes belong together to form harmonious sounds.
Why Learn Chords on Multiple Instruments?
🎸 For Guitarists
Understanding how guitar chords look on piano helps you visualize the actual notes you're playing. Guitar chord shapes can feel abstract, but seeing the same notes laid out on a piano keyboard reveals the underlying music theory. This knowledge helps with songwriting, improvisation, and communicating with other musicians.
🎹 For Pianists
Piano players often want to jam with guitarists or understand guitar-based songs. By seeing how piano chords translate to guitar fingerings, you can better understand guitar parts in recordings, write guitar-friendly arrangements, and communicate chord voicings with guitar players in your band.
How Chords Work: The Basics
A chord is simply two or more musical notes played together. The most common chords are triads, which consist of three notes: the root, the third, and the fifth. For example, a C Major chord contains the notes C (root), E (third), and G (fifth).
What makes ChordBridge unique is showing you how these same three notes appear on both guitar and piano. On piano, you simply press C, E, and G keys. On guitar, you need to find these notes across six strings, which is why guitar chord shapes can seem complex at first.
Our diagrams help bridge this gap by showing the exact relationship between instruments. Once you understand that both instruments are playing the same notes, music theory becomes much clearer regardless of which instrument you started on.
