You may find this code useful if your planning to create a chord chart or a complete database of chord voicings for the guitar. The code determines and enumerates ALL the possible lowest position moveable chord shape combinations within 5 frets for a particular tuning - EADGBE, DADGBE, DADGBD, BEADGBE etc... The resulting shapes may then be easily slid or transposed to other frets like barre chords. Approximately 31,000+ distinct shapes are produced for a 6 string guitar while 201,000+ shapes are produced for a 7 string guitar. Processing time may take about 1 to 3 minutes depending on the selected tuning. For now, the app still generates awkward chord shapes or wide stretches which may be impossible to press on a real instrument. Exceptional open string possibilities have been excluded from the calculation.
