    Hi everyone !


    I've been playing gypsy jazz guitar for 20 years, and I just developed a tool that allows you to list various chords, scales, and arpeggios used in this style (and beyond). The idea is to have a no-frills tool that can be used daily.
    Pretty soon there will also be the possibility to play chord charts from our friend Martin Gioani, for example (Guitar Improvisation - YouTube), with all chord positions in real-time.

    For now, you can find (I hope) all the most common chords on https://www.all-guitar.co
    Here are a few examples:

    Maj 6/9 chord: All guitar chords: How to play CMaj6'/'9 chord in first position.
    min6 chord: All guitar chords: How to play Cmin6 chord in first position.
    dim chord: All guitar chords: How to play Cdim chord in first position.
    min arpeggio: https://www.all-guitar.co/arpeggios/C/min/2
    Maj arpeggio: https://www.all-guitar.co/arpeggios/C/Maj/2

    Anyway, you get the idea
    If you have any suggestions for improvement or if you notice anything missing, I'm all ears!

    Cool tool!

    Looks good. It might be nice to allow showing interval names, replacing note names. A button could allow you to toggle between the two.

    Adding standard 6th and augmented wouldn’t hurt. I mean, you could go on forever adding features, open voicing, drop 2, specific string set voicings. #11 chords…

    You have omitted voicings of a few chord types, e.g., Dominant 7th, Sus2 and 6/9 chords.

    Sometimes you include the chord tones on the low E string but not on the high E string - or vice versa - and sometimes you do not.

    For example, you do not include high E string notes in your diminished chord voicings (they are of course in the same fret positions as the low E string notes).

    Or just indicate the chord synonyms:

    1) A minor 7th chord equals a major 6th chord a minor 3rd higher, e.g., Am7 = C6

    2) A m7b5 chord equals a minor 6th chord a minor 3rd higher, e.g., Cm7b5 = Ebm6

    3) Maybe mention Dom. 7th chord synonyms, e.g., C7 = Gb7b5b9, but that may open Pandora's box.

    Yes, augmented chords are a major omission... make that an augmented omission.

    It seems you got a bug with diminished chord, thank you to take the time to share these improvements !
