How it works
Chord formula
A piano chord is built from intervals. For example, a major chord uses the root, major third, and perfect fifth. A minor chord uses the root, minor third, and perfect fifth. This tool shows both the note names and interval labels so you can learn the chord formula while you play.
Chord movement
Inversions use the same chord notes but change which note appears at the bottom. A C major chord in root position is C-E-G. In first inversion it becomes E-G-C, and in second inversion it becomes G-C-E. Inversions make chord changes smoother because your hand can move less between chords.
Fingering depends on hand size and musical context, but simple patterns help beginners start. For triads, right hand 1-3-5 and left hand 5-3-1 are common. For seventh chords, try right hand 1-2-3-5 and left hand 5-3-2-1, then adjust if the shape feels tense.
Chord types
The finder supports common triads, suspended chords, dominant seventh chords, major seventh chords, minor seventh chords, diminished chords, add9 chords, ninth chords, eleventh chords, and thirteenth chords. Use simple triads for beginner songs, seventh chords for blues and pop, and extended chords for jazz, gospel, R&B, and richer piano harmony.
