Alternate Tuning Guitar Chords
Print guitar chord shapes for alternate tunings — DADGAD, Drop D, Open G, Open D, Open E and more.
Alternate tunings change which notes the open strings play, so your usual chord shapes no longer apply. Pick a tuning — DADGAD, Drop D, Open G, Open D, Open E, Open C, Drop C, half-step down and others — then choose a chord, and this sheet computes playable voicings for that exact tuning from scratch, ordered easiest first.
Each diagram is labelled with the tuning's open-string notes (low to high) beneath the grid, plus finger dots and open/muted markers, so you can see at a glance how the shape sits on the retuned neck. It's ideal for folk, Celtic, slide and open-tuning styles.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions
Which tunings are supported?
Standard, Drop D, Open G, Open D, DADGAD, Open E, Open C, Drop C, half-step down and D standard — with more easy to add.
Are the shapes different from standard tuning?
Yes — the voicings are recomputed for the tuning you pick, because the open-string notes change, so the fingerings differ from standard-tuning charts.
What do the letters under each diagram mean?
They are the open-string notes for the chosen tuning, from the low (left) string to the high (right) string.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every template on printsheet.io is completely free, with no sign-up, no account and no watermark. Generate as many sheets as you like.
How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4, A5, A3, A6, US Letter, Legal and Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Pick the size that matches the paper loaded in your printer.
Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
Yes — choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The PDF keeps the exact millimetre dimensions.
