Guitar Fretboard Diagram Requests

This is where you can request a guitar fretboard diagram for your own learning needs. It can be anything, from intervals to notes, chords and scales, for any tuning. You can download/save the diagram and print out for reference if you wish. The benefit is not only to yourself, as many of these diagrams will end up being used in lessons on this site. By requesting you are helping others.

Here are some examples of what others have requested >

If it's a complete library of chords you want, I recommend the JamPlay Chord Chart.

You can also download blank fretboard diagrams for printing out and marking yourself.

Simply complete the request form below, be as detailed as possible and I'll let you know when your diagram is ready. It's currently a free service.

Guitar fretboard diagrams

Here are some requests I've received from visitors. I hope they can help you too!

Modes of the major scale diagrams

Minor/major pentatonic overlap diagram

G minor pentatonic extended diagram

Major added 9th chord diagrams

Major triad intervals in G

Guitar fretboard notes

Modes of the major scale diagrams

The diagrams below show you how the modes can be identified across the fretboard in relation to the C major scale. The marked tones (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) in the first diagram relate, therefore, to the parent C major scale, with each tone representing the root note of each of its 7 modes. Learn more in the guitar modes series.

Minor/major pentatonic overlap diagram

In the advanced pentatonics lesson we touched on merging the major and minor pentatonic scales to create more fluid, bluesy soloing. The below diagram shows minor and major pentatonic overlapping across 3 positions. The root note and 5th can be considered "neutral" or shared tones in both scales.

What's interesting about mapping them out together is you can see how the Mixolydian and Dorian modes appear within the pattern. Both these modes are used frequently in blues, to embellish that pentatonic sound.

G minor pentatonic extended diagram

Below, we're in the key of G and we've extended that first position minor pentatonic pattern either side for more coverage. As a result, the open D and G strings play their part. Marked are the root, minor 3rd and 5th tones.

You can learn how to unbox your pentatonic scales in any key in the pentatonic scale patterns lesson.

Major add 9 chord diagrams

These added 9th (e.g. Dadd9, Badd9, C#add9) chord fingerings can be used in any key as they are movable shapes based around those bottom 3 root note strings...

D string root	A string root (ascending)
A string root (descending)	A string root (descending ii)
E string root (ascending)	E string root (descending)

Check out the JamPlay chord chart for more variations of the add9 chord.

Major triad intervals in G

Root 3rd 5th (major triad) interval map. The major triad is used in all major scales and in major arpeggios, so this is a useful pattern to learn for general major key soloing. Although this example is in the key of G, the pattern moves relative to the root note position.

Guitar fretboard notes

Complete map of notes across the fretboard. Remember, once you're at the 12th fret the 12 note cycle repeats on each string.
