[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":24},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-chord-finder-en":3},{"about":4,"steps":7,"faq":11},[5,6],"Chord symbols like Cmaj7, F#m7b5 or G\u002FB are shorthand: the letter names the root, the rest the chord type. The chord finder breaks every symbol down into its notes and intervals, shows the chord on a keyboard and plays it on request – as a chord or an arpeggio. The notes are spelled correctly: Cdim7 contains a Bbb, not an A.","In the other direction it names a chord from single notes: type them in or click them on the keyboard. If the lowest note is not the root, it recognises the inversion as a slash chord (e.g. C\u002FE). With German notation, the notes are called H, B, Fis and Es. To see which chords belong to a key, use the [[scale-generator]].",[8,9,10],"Choose “Chord → notes” and enter a chord symbol, or pick the root and type from the lists.","Read the notes, intervals and semitones, and listen to the chord with “Play” or “Arpeggio”.","Choose “Notes → chord”, enter notes (lowest first) or click them on the keyboard – the matching chord names appear below.",[12,15,18,21],{"q":13,"a":14},"Which chord types does the finder know?","Major, minor, diminished and augmented triads, sus2 and sus4, power chords, sixth chords, all common seventh chords (7, maj7, m7, m7b5, dim7, mMaj7, 7sus4, aug7), add9 and madd9, 6\u002F9, ninth (9, maj9, m9, 7b9, 7#9), eleventh and thirteenth chords – 29 types in total. Common spellings such as Δ, ø, °, -7 or min7 are understood as well.",{"q":16,"a":17},"What does a slash in a chord mean, e.g. C\u002FE?","That is a slash chord: C major with E in the bass, i.e. the first inversion. The note after the slash is the lowest note. It does not have to belong to the chord – C\u002FD is a C major chord over a D bass.",{"q":19,"a":20},"Why does the finder show several chords for the same notes?","Some note combinations have more than one name. C E G A is C6, but also Am7 with C in the bass (Am7\u002FC). The finder lists the chord whose root is the lowest note first. It only recognises chords made of exactly the notes you entered; if the fifth is missing, for example, it will not find a seventh chord.",{"q":22,"a":23},"How do I write chords in German notation?","With “German (H)”, H is the note between A and C and B is the note a semitone lower (Bb internationally). So Hm is B minor and B7 is Bb7. You can enter accidentals as # and b or as German suffixes: Fism7 and F#m7 mean the same, as do Es7 and Eb7. Esus4 stays E with a suspended fourth.",1792323198234]
