You already know the usual chord shapes.
These are the other ones.
From the finger-multiplying A-lien chord to the suspiciously athletic G-ymnast chord, Guitar Fail recognizes seven essential shapes for players who consider normal hand anatomy more of a guideline than a rule.
Personally, I’m still most comfortable with the F-you chord. Expert level, obviously.
The others may require practice, flexibility, and possibly medical supervision.
From the archives
The original Guitar Fail Chord Shapes started life on Instagram on May 5, 2017 with just four specimens: A-lien, C-law, F-you and G-ymnast. Nearly ten years later, the lesson has finally been completed. So, don’t worry we had not suddenly become a guitar-teaching website… Nor will we ever be.
The remastered version expands the original four shapes into the full A to G curriculum, adds three previously undocumented techniques (B-ender, D-riller and E-lastic) and packages the whole thing as the educational poster nobody asked for.
Please study responsibly.
