Keep the essential tenor guitar chords and fretboard notes within easy reach while you practice, teach, or learn new songs. This 11" x 17" Tenor Guitar Chord Chart is designed for the traditional C-G-D-A tuning and combines 21 useful chord diagrams with a complete fretboard note reference through the 12th fret.
Instead of flipping between chord books, lesson pages, and fretboard diagrams, you can see the core information together on one easy-to-read reference chart.
21 Essential Tenor Guitar Chords
The chart covers the seven natural keys from A through G, with three common chord types for each key:
-
Major chords: A, B, C, D, E, F and G
-
Minor chords: Am, Bm, Cm, Dm, Em, Fm and Gm
-
Dominant 7th chords: A7, B7, C7, D7, E7, F7 and G7

CGDA fretboard notes: Open strings through the 12th fret

11" x 17" portrait format: Large enough for a wall, music room, studio or practice area
Learn the Tenor Guitar Fretboard
The large fretboard diagram shows the notes of each C, G, D and A string from the open position through the 12th fret. Use it to learn note locations, understand chord construction, find alternate positions, work with scales, or become more comfortable moving around the neck.
It makes a useful reference for beginning and intermediate tenor guitar players, music students, teachers, songwriters and experienced musicians who simply want the most important information where they can see it.
Designed for Standard CGDA Tenor Guitar Tuning
This chart is specifically designed for a four-string tenor guitar tuned C-G-D-A, low to high. CGDA is a tuning in fifths and is also familiar to musicians coming from instruments such as the mandola or standard tenor banjo.
That makes the chart especially useful for musicians moving to tenor guitar from another fifths-tuned instrument and looking for a quick visual reference for chord shapes and fretboard notes.
Whether you're playing folk, roots, traditional jazz, country, western swing or your own arrangements, the chart provides a convenient starting point for finding the chords and notes you need.
