Chord Identifier
Tap the frets you're holding to get the chord's name and notes. Or build any chord and see its shapes.
Place the notes of a chord you know, or one you stumbled on. One note per string; tap above the nut for an open string, tap again to mute it.
Questions players ask
How does the chord identifier name a chord?
It tries each of your notes as the root and checks the set against more than 35 chord types, from major and minor to 7♯9 and 13. The name that explains all of your notes best comes first, preferring the lowest note as the root.
What does a slash chord like C/E mean?
The chord is C major, but the lowest note is E rather than C. The letter after the slash is the bass note.
Why does my chord have two names?
Some sets of notes are two chords at once: A C E G is both Am7 and C6 with A in the bass. The name shown first follows your bass note; the others are listed under it.
What are the open circles?
Pick a chord under Could become and open circles show the notes to add to finish a playable shape around the notes you've already placed.
