Gbmaj13 voicings FAQ

How many ways can you play the Gbmaj13 chord?

The Gbmaj13 chord can be played in five core CAGED positions across the fretboard, plus additional capo shapes and inversions. The voicings page lists each position with interactive fretboard diagrams, suggested fingerings, and audio previews so you can compare how they sound.

What are the CAGED positions for the Gbmaj13 chord?

CAGED maps the Gbmaj13 chord onto five open-chord shapes (C, A, G, E, and D) moved up the neck. Each position gives the Gbmaj13 chord a different timbre and fingering, which is useful for voice-leading between chords, sliding between positions, or matching the register of a song.

How do I play the Gbmaj13 chord with a capo?

Capo shapes reuse open Gbmaj13 fingerings in any key by clamping the capo at the fret that transposes the shape to your target root (Gb). The voicings page shows capo-friendly Gbmaj13 shapes along with the capo fret each one requires, so you can keep easy open-position fingerings instead of barring.

What are inversions of the Gbmaj13 chord?

An inversion places a note other than the root (Gb) as the lowest-sounding pitch in the Gbmaj13 chord. The voicings page shows first inversion (lowest note Bb), second inversion (lowest note Db), and third inversion (lowest note F), so you can choose the bass note and voice-leading that best fit your chord progression.

How do I play the Gbmaj13 chord in Drop D, Open G, or baritone ukulele?

Those tunings live on this voicings page, not on the first-screen diagram. Open Other tunings, then pick Drop D, Open G, DADGAD, or — after switching to Ukulele — Baritone. Every chord's first screen stays Standard (EADGBE / GCEA / EADG).
