Easy guitar songs

Songs with chords, ordered by their shapes: first the ones with few open chords, then the barre-free ones, then the rest. Where a capo helps, the fret is given.

Whether a song is easy on the guitar is decided by its chords: how many there are, and whether one of them needs a finger laid flat across the strings. The site knows the usual shape and its effort for every chord.

On top of that it tries every capo position. A song can sit in a key that demands a barre and, with a capo on another fret, suddenly consist of nothing but open shapes — it still sounds in the same key, only the hand has an easier time. Where the column names a fret, the capo is worth it.

Every note on this page is computed, not typed in — following the rule that also makes F# major spell its seventh degree E#, not F.
