There are many great sites and apps for finding the chords for a particuar song. (Ultimate Guitar, Chordify, etc.) This is not one. This site is for helping you to understand the chords, and to read music notation.
The goal of uptheneck.com is to help people learn more about music as it relates to their fretted instruments, and to suppy tools for their teachers.
Learn at your own pace, in your own style - we'll just try to provide all the information that we can, in a way that hopefully links together various learning pathways.
Experience music notation, and how it relates to your fretboard, in your own way. We supply multiple simultaneous views of musical notes, so that your brain can make the connections in the way that's most natural to you. See a note on the fretboard, and see it on the music staff. Connect tablature, numeric analysis, and solfege. Correlate different types of notation.
'Music Theory' is not just one thing. There are many different systems of music around the world. Even within 'Western' (European/American) music, there are many different approaches to music theory. Refer to Andrew Wasson's comparison of types of Roman Numeral Analysis. I'm not a 'Music Theory' expert. I don't know anything. I'm simply presenting ideas that I have come across, from my perspective as an American, trying to learn popular music.
I'll try to point out a few variations, such as classic "Roman Numeral Analysis" versus "Jazz (Berklee) numeric analysis" versus "Nashville Notation". I may get things wrong. I'm not even sure about the names of the different approaches, if they even have accepted names.
I'm hoping to help people who want to learn, by conveying general ideas about music. Generalizations are always incomplete, and therefore not completely true.
