What Chord Am I Playing?
Here is a great resource widget for every guitar player. Have you ever strummed a chord that sounded perfect, but you were not sure what chord you are playing? Just “click” where your fingers are on this virtual fretboard and this tool will will tell you all the possible names for the chord you are playing. You can even click the play button to hear the chord!
I just wanted to let you know that this is the most useful thing I have found on the internet since I can remember! What a great little invention for disorganized people like myself!
Thank you!
Hey JD… I have to agree! This little widget has allowed me to finally write the chord names for the tab sheets I have been playing off of for many years! Thanks – Enjoy!
This is really useful! Thanks so much for doing this.
Brilliant. This is sooooooo useful. Does anyone know of one like this for the ukulele??? I would be extremely grateful.
awesome…simply awesome!
wow! this is so handy! thank you
Aaug5!!! Thanks!!!
You are welcome! (Cool chord by the way…) -GuitarDaddy
thank you! thank you! thank you!
this is perfect!
Clever and useful piece of software but can I clarify one thing – where is the chord name supposed to be displayed ? If I key in what I know to be D Major, D appears at the top, to the side of the neck diagram but if I key in A major, A appears at the bottom ? It’s obviously ok for chords that I know but if I put in a chord shape I don’t know the name of, where do I read the chord name ?
Along the lines of Nick’s comment, how do you know which chord is correct if there are 2 or 3 displayed?
what chord is this?
xx0235. It’s basically a D, only the high E string is played on the 5th fret on an A.
thanks
Looks like Asus4 to me!
This widget is great but it doesn’t seem to identify slash chords?
I don’t know how do you pronounce “-9″ in a chord name? I’ve altered a D chord, flatted the 5th and raised 5th to a “-9″ ( x,0,0,1,4,2). Can anyone help me identify this chord?
Thanks
