Chord Finder - Supported Chord Names
Chord names can be found in many different formats. There is no single system for naming chords, and many different conventions have evolved. Chord Finder aims to be able to interpret any chord name that you might come across. If you see a chord name and aren't sure what it means, type it in and see if we can decipher it! We may not always figure it out, but our algorithm is flexible enough to interpret unusual names. Here is a list of chord names that are known to be specifically supported.
Recognized chord names (replace C with any root note):
- Triads:
- C
- Cm
- Cmin
- Cminor
- Csus
