The list includes various G sharp chord types and their variations. Click a link to view diagrams, fingerings and chord notes.

G# is commonly used in minor contexts, but much less often in major ones.

In major contexts, musicians usually prefer Ab major over G#. G# major is theoretically awkward because it requires spellings such as B# and Fx (F double sharp).

In minor contexts, however, G# minor fits naturally with common sharp-based keys such as B major and E major and avoids the awkward spellings that would appear in Ab minor, such as Cb and Fb.
