Main features
Automatic chord detection
Click on the notes you play on the guitar fretboard or piano keyboard, and the tool instantly identifies the chord name. Recognition happens in real-time, allowing you to experiment with different note combinations and discover the chords you create. This feature is ideal for identifying chords you hear in a song or for checking if you're playing a given chord correctly.
Similar chords and missing notes
Beyond identifying the exact chord you're playing, the Chord Finder also provides a list of similar chords by showing which notes are missing to obtain these related chords. This educational feature helps you understand the relationships between different chords and enrich your musical vocabulary by discovering possible variations and extensions.
Display options
Enable or disable the display of note names on the instrument to focus on positions or music theory according to your needs.
