About
Provides details necessary for indicating finger placements on the fretboard to construct basic guitar chords across all major keys. This dataset maps out specific finger positions, string usage, and fret locations required to accurately form standard chords on the neck of a guitar. The dataset is useful for understanding the fundamental structure of guitar chord fingerings.
Columns
- Finger Label: A numerical label associated with the finger position, though 39% of entries are recorded as missing.
- Capo: Indicates the capo position. This column is highly sparse, with 90% of entries recorded as missing.
- Chord: The name of the specific guitar chord, with 25 unique values identified.
- Finger: Represents the finger used (e.g., 1 for index, 0 for open), containing 6 unique values.
- Fret: The specific fret number where the finger is placed, with 8 unique values.
- Guitar String: The specific string number, ranging from 1 through 6.
- Key: The musical key in which the chord is played, featuring 7 unique values.
- Note Order: The order of the note within the sequence. This column has a significant number of missing values (67%).
- Note: The specific musical note, with 12 unique values.
- Roman Numeral: The Roman numeral representation of the chord degree, containing 7 unique values.
Distribution
The data is provided in a single CSV file format, named
GuitarChords.csv. The file size is 6.08 kB and it contains 10 columns. Most columns contain 294 valid entries, though several columns exhibit varying levels of missing information.Usage
This data is excellent for creating educational tools, developing visualisations of fretboard dynamics, building music theory applications, or generating machine learning models focused on classification and clustering related to music.
Coverage
The data covers finger positioning for basic chords within major keys and does not contain geographical or temporal scope. The information pertains solely to musical instruction and theory. It is important to note that information on Capo position is substantially missing (90% unavailable), and details for Note Order (67% unavailable) and Finger Label (39% unavailable) are also partially missing.
