Guitar Chord Finder

Find Any Guitar Chord by Name

The fastest way to learn a new chord is to see it. With this guitar chord finder you type the chord name — C, Am, F#m, G7, Cmaj7, or a slash chord like D/F# — and the tool instantly draws the fingering on a clean chord diagram. Every result also lists the chord notes, the intervals, the root and the bass note, so you understand the shape instead of just copying it.

The guitar chord finder covers twenty-one chord qualities across all twelve roots: majors, minors, dominant and major sevenths, minor sevenths, suspended chords, added ninths, diminished and augmented shapes, sixths, ninths, elevenths and thirteenths. Whether you are working through your first beginner songbook or arranging jazz standards, the same search box answers every question about guitar chords. Pin this guitar chord finder as a browser tab and it becomes the fastest reference on your desk.

Identify a Chord From the Fretboard

Found a shape in a tab or a lesson that you cannot name? Switch to the Identify tab and tap the frets directly on the interactive fretboard. The guitar chord finder then works in reverse: it reads the pitch classes under your fingers, compares them against every chord formula, and names the chord in real time — root, bass note and inversion included.

How to Use the Guitar Chord Finder

Three steps, no signup, nothing to install. The whole guitar chord finder runs on a single page: Every step happens inside this guitar chord finder — there is nothing else to open.

• Type a chord name — or tap frets on the fretboard — in the tool above.
• Read the chord diagram and place your fingers; open strings ring, muted strings stay silent.
• Check the notes and intervals, then compare an alternate voicing higher up the neck.

Chord Diagrams, Notes and Intervals

A chord diagram is a miniature view of the top of your fretboard: six vertical strings, the nut at the top, and a dot on every fretted note. The marks above the strings tell you which strings ring open and which are muted. For shapes played far up the neck, the diagram shows the base fret so you know exactly where to anchor your hand.

Under the diagram, the guitar chord finder lists the notes and intervals — the distance of each tone from the root. A C major chord is C, E and G, or intervals 1, 3 and 5. Reading intervals while you play turns every lookup into a small theory lesson, and after a few weeks the shapes stop feeling arbitrary.
