Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. It costs nothing and there is no card to enter. It is yours to keep: print it, save it or keep it on your phone.
What is a relative minor?
The minor key that shares its notes with a major key. It starts on the sixth note of the major scale: A minor for C major, E minor for G major.
Is there a quick way to find it?
Yes. From the root of the major key, go down three frets on the same string. Three frets below C is A, so A minor is the relative minor of C major.
What do the numbers mean?
Each Roman numeral is a chord’s place in the key. Capitals, I, IV and V, are major chords, small ii, iii and vi are minor, and vii° is diminished. In C that is C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am and B°.
Do I need to know music theory?
No. Find the key of a song you like on the chart, and every chord in that row fits together. Start with the big three, I, IV and V, like C, F and G in the key of C.
Is it for acoustic or electric?
Both. Keys and chords are the same on any guitar.
