Muscle groups for different exercises

Question

I would like to know which muscle groups the following exercises train:

Regular pull ups
Wide grip pull ups
Close grip pull ups
Close grip chin ups

This seems like the kind of question that a little bit of research could have answered. — rrirower, Jul 14 '15 at 17:24
ExRx is a good place to look up specific muscle groups for each exercise. — BackInShapeBuddy, Jul 14 '15 at 18:25

All of them are exercises focused in back as a primary muscle and also work biceps as a secondary muscle and of course your grip strenght. By experience I would do the regular pull ups and the regular chin ups those kind of grips you mentioned do the same work as the regular grip so keep it simple.
