Chord name finder
Pick notes and get the chord name, including inversions and alternative readings.
Select the notes you hear or play (octave does not matter):
Chord name
- CC major
The same set of notes can have several names (for example C6 and Am7). The context and the bass note decide which reading is meant.
How it works
A chord is identified by the intervals above its root. Because the same notes can be arranged with different roots, several names can be correct; the bass note usually decides.
Formulas
- Match the set of intervals above each possible root against chord templates
