Frequently asked questions
How does the chord finder work?
Tap three or more keys on the keyboard. It tries each note as the root and names the chord those notes make: major, minor, sevenths, sus, add9, sixths, diminished and augmented.
Does the order or octave of the notes matter?
No. C E G, E G C and G C E are all C major. When the same notes can be two chords (C E G A is C6 or Am7), the lowest key you tapped is taken as the root.
What if it says "Not a common chord"?
Those notes are not one of the chord types it knows, or a note is off by one key. Tap a key again to take it off and try its neighbour.
Can I see a chord instead of finding one?
Yes. Pick a root and a chord type above the keyboard and it shows the chord with its notes and formula. The full chart is on the piano chords page.
Can I use the chord in a song?
Yes. Press "Make a beat" to open the editor with a beat in that chord's key, then add chords, a melody and your voice. No account is needed to start.
Turn your chord into a song
Open the editor free and build drums, chords, a melody and your voice, part by part.
