Find the guitar chord that suits your purposes with this great free tool.
The Chord Generator by Jim Cranwell has over 3 million chords in 14 different tunings.
Here’s the description:
“There aren’t any actual complete chord diagrams stored anywhere in this program (except on this help page). Every chord and variation is generated via an algorithm. Some variations work great for some types of chords but might not even give a result for others, so you might have to check all the chord variations to get a chord that you feel comfortable fingering, (the vary check box changes the vary drop down into a whole ‘nother set of variations). If a chord gets computed and has all the needed notes included in it but,it is not using all of the strings (like diagram), it is still a valid playable chord, just don’t use the x’d out strings (or increase the stretch). If a chord gets computed and doesn’t have all the notes included in it, it will get the six XXXXXX zap and won’t be displayed, and although there is an increased chance of this happening sometimes in alternative tunings, it is quite rare because the program automatically runs through all the different variations if it doesn’t find something at the variation you have tried.”
If you think you’d like to use this tool, click the link, but be warned - it can be addictive!

The Scale and Chord Tone Fretboard Printer is a free fretboard generator for any stringed instrument.
This free scale and chord generator allows you to view and print out the fretboard notes or fingerboard charts to most any scale, chord, or arpeggio on any stringed instrument in any tuning. The default tuning displays a bass fretboard, but don’t be fooled. It supports all stringed instruments — like guitar, bass guitar, violin, cello, mandolin — for any number of strings in any standard tuning, dropped tuning or alternate tuning you can think of. It’s a very powerful fretboard diagramming application.
Some things you can do with the scale and chord tone diagram printer:
Generate guitar scales or bass scales on the fretboard.
View and print scales for drop-D tuning on a guitar or bass fretboard.
Display the notes to guitar chords on the fret board.
Find your own guitar chord voicings by assembling the arpeggio notes of chords in various ways.
Print out all the guitar notes on the guitar fretboard or bass notes on the bass fretboard.
Create printable blank fretboard diagrams for any number of strings in any shape or size.
Create and print scales for violin, cello, double bass and other fretless string instruments.
Show the notes of natural harmonics on the guitar, bass guitar or any other stringed instrument.
Generate diagrams for almost all scales and chords from the vast scale and chord dictionary.
Make left-handed guitar fretboard diagrams.
You can easily create a custom instrument by simply typing in the tuning note for each string seperated by commas. For example, if you type in E,A,D,G# and click set, you will create a 4-string instrument tuned from lowest-pitched string to highest E,A,D,G#. You can use any number of valid notes (natural, single sharp, or flat) you like: A, A#, Bb, B, C, C#, Db, D, D#, Eb, E, F, F#, Gb, G, G#, and Ab.
When you click the set button a new diagram is generated with the new tuning and correct number of strings. It is also saved on your computer into your own personal list of custom tunings. To access these saved custom tunings, select custom from the instrument menu, then click to select the custom tuning saved in memory.
