Click:
Click in text box or on the arrow to display the possible selections of
your choice, then move mouse cursor arrow to desired choice and click on
it. If you double click without moving the mouse cursor arrow, the textbox
will become highlighted and then you can use the tab key and the up and
down arrows of the keyboard to change chord and variations (this works a
lot faster).
Key: 
Key is the chord letter, sharp or flat of the chord in question.
A = A , Eb = E flat , C# = C sharp
Chord: 
Chord is the variety
min = minor , maj = major , m7 = minor 7th , b5 = flat 5
Fret: 
When the chord
is being displayed in an open position the space
on the
top of the diagram will be void of any string lines, any selected string
in this position means to play the string open. When you select any higher
fret the top space will become the chosen fret position, it will include
string lines. The diagram on the left is an E open chord, the diagram on
the right is a seventh chord on any fret above open.
Stretch:
Stretch is the amount of distance the chord will span on the fret board.
Q3: means in the open or any fretted position any other possible notes
included will be within range of three more frets.
Q6: will give a huge six fret, sometimes impossible stretch. But if
you use it in the open position, it will give you some nice sounding completely
unique chords with open ringing notes.
Variation: 
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.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. 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.
Tuning:
Tuning changes the whole tuning of the guitar, making it easy to use chords
in alternative tunings.
EADGBE ... Standard tuning
EBEG#BE ... Open E
EAEAC#E ... Open A
EADF#BE ... Lute tuning
EADGCF ... Blues tuning
DADGAD ... Jimmy Page tuning.
DGCGCD ... Rain Song tuning.
DADF#AD ... Open D
DADGBE ... Drop D
DGDGBD ... Open G
CGCGAE ... C 6th
FADGBE ... Jewel ...low E raised to F.
GBbDGBbD... G minor tuning
Handed: 
If you are a right handed player leave the select on right. If you area
left handed player, change the select to left, this will reverse the way
the strings are strung on the guitar thereby reversing all tunings and
chord patterns.
