FAQ
What exactly are "textual guitar chord descriptions" and how do they differ from standard chord diagrams?
Textual guitar chord descriptions provide written, step-by-step instructions on how to place your fingers on the guitar fretboard for a specific chord.

Each textual chord description provides detailed written instructions on where to place your fingers on the guitar neck. This includes precise guidance for every string, indicating whether it should be played open, fretted at a particular position, or muted, ensuring you can accurately form the chord shape.
How does the included MP3 audio enhance the learning experience for these textual chord diagrams?
Each textual chord description is accompanied by an MP3 audio file that plays the chord one string at a time.

Is this textual format for guitar chord diagrams exclusively for guitarists with impaired vision?
