Chords — Fiddle

Pick a root. Every quality, drawn for this chair and read against the keys a circle calls.

The chord reference for this chair. Pick a root, then any of 54 qualities, and get the shapes plus the thing a chord chart never tells you: which of the keys a caller actually calls contain it, and as what number.

The fiddle chair owns the sustaining voice. A chord on a bowed instrument is really a choice of double stops — two strings at a time, chosen from these tones — plus the arpeggio the bow walks through the rest of them.

The diagrams below mark stopping points on the GDAE fingerboard, not frets — there are none. Treat each dot as a place your finger has to find by ear, and use the playback to check that it did.
