Guitar Chord & Fretboard Poster (11x17 Portrait) - 21 Chords & Fretboard Note Diagram - Learn Theory, Improvise & Transpose - Beginner & Pro Reference

The Guitar Poster That Gets Beginners Playing — Not Overwhelmed

Walk into a music store and you'll find guitar chord posters with 50, 60, even 100+ chord shapes. They look impressive. But for someone just starting out, they're paralyzing. Where do you even begin?

The A New Song Music® Guitar Fretboard & Chord Chart Poster was built around a different philosophy: give players the right information, not all the information. The result is a clean, focused 11"x17" poster that beginner and intermediate guitarists actually use — every single practice session.

Two Essential Tools, One Easy-to-Read Chart

The left half features a complete fretboard note diagram — every note on the fingerboard, including sharps and flats, laid out clearly so you can begin recognizing patterns, understanding scale shapes, and connecting what you hear to what you see on the neck. Reviewers love keeping it nearby while they practice, using it as a constant visual reference that slowly becomes second nature.

The right half is a straightforward chord chart with 21 of the most used chords — the Major, Minor, and 7th variations that appear again and again in virtually every style of music. These aren't obscure voicings or advanced jazz shapes. They're the chords that will get you strumming your first songs, playing along with friends, and building the muscle memory that makes everything else easier.

Designed with the Basics in Mind

This chart contains what you need to get started — no wasted space, no intimidating extras. Similar posters take up your entire wall just to show you chords most players never use. This one is focused, practical, and immediately useful from the moment you hang it up.

Premium Print Quality That's Easy to Read

Every poster is digitally produced on heavy-duty 80lb Glossy Cover Stock — bright, sharp, and vibrant. The font is intentionally large and high-contrast so you can read it comfortably from across the room without squinting mid-strum. Reviewers consistently note how clear and professional it looks on the wall. It's ideal for framing behind glass or hanging directly in your practice space, studio, or classroom.

A Gift Worth Giving

Know someone who just picked up their first guitar? This poster pairs perfectly with a new instrument, a beginner lesson book, or a starter pack of picks. It's the kind of practical gift that actually gets used daily — not tucked away in a drawer. Every order ships rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube, arriving in perfect condition with no creases or folds.

For over 20 years, A New Song Music® has been designing and printing instructional music posters in the USA, trusted by students, hobbyists, and teachers alike.
