Questions

Frequently asked

How do I find the name of a chord I am playing?

Click the keys of your chord on the piano above, or play them on your computer keyboard: the name appears as soon as the notes form a chord the finder knows, inversions included (C/E is a C chord with E in the bass).

What are the most common piano chords for beginners?

The major and minor triads on white keys - C, F, G, Am, Dm and Em - cover thousands of songs. Then come the dominant seventh chords such as G7, which lead back to the key.

What is the difference between a major and a minor chord?

Only the middle note. A major chord stacks 4 half steps then 3 (C E G); a minor chord stacks 3 then 4 (C E♭ G). The minor third makes it sound darker.
