Chord Finder

Chord finder allows you to point and click notes on the keyboard to make your own chords. GuitarPower then uses its extensive knowledge base to suggest a name for that chord.

To place a chord note. Point at the string at the required fret and click the left mouse button.

To move a note. Point at the new required fret.

To remove a note. Click on the note or right click while pointing at the string.

To place a open string. Left-handed display - click to the left of the nut. Right-handed display - click to the right of the nut.

When sufficient notes are placed GuitarPower will suggest a number of suitable chord names, starting with an assumed root on the lowest string moving through each string in turn. In the majority of cases either:

• the first suggestion, or
• the simplest chord name

will be the best chord description. To give extra help GuitarPower colour codes it's suggestions in various shades of blue - the darkest colour suggestion is often the best.
