Chord Analyser
An interactive and reverse chord dictionary bridging Piano, Guitar, Banjo and all stringed instruments. Press the keys, get the chord. Pick a chord, explore every position. Powered by an advanced algorithm that goes far beyond any static dictionary.
The chord tool musicians have been waiting for
Whether you're a guitarist struggling to identify a chord on a score, a composer searching for the most elegant notation, or a pianist curious about alternative voicings - Chord Analyser bridges the gap between notation, keyboard and fretboard.
Enter notes on the piano keyboard or tap frets on the guitar neck: the app instantly recognizes the chord and suggests its most accurate musical notation. Conversely, select any chord from the built-in dictionary to visualize all playable positions across guitar, banjo and beyond.
Unlike traditional chord books that only show fixed positions, our algorithm calculates every theoretically valid voicing - including inversions, slash bass chords and encrypted notations - giving you far more creative options.

Two instruments, one bridge
The piano keyboard lets you press any combination of notes and instantly identify the chord with its most accurate notation. Switch to the guitar neck to see every playable fingering position for that same chord.
The two interfaces are always in sync - change the chord on one and the other updates immediately. The combo view displays both simultaneously.
Piano, Guitar, and a lot more
Chord Analyser supports over 10 instruments with a full chord dictionary and computed positions for every single chord - not just the common ones.
Guitar, Piano, Banjo (4 & 5 strings), Ukulele, Mandolin, Violin, 7-string guitar, and open tuning variants. All accessible from the same interface.
Not a dictionary - a calculator
Most chord apps rely on a static database: a fixed list of known positions, nothing more. Chord Analyser works differently.
Every chord position is computed on the fly by an algorithm that understands music theory. It generates all theoretically valid voicings - including inversions, slash bass chords, and positions that no book has ever listed.
This means it works with any tuning. Open D, Drop C, DADGAD, custom tunings - the engine recalculates every position from scratch. A static dictionary simply cannot do that.
Every chord type, every position
Browse over 3,500 recognized chords filtered by type - major, minor, diminished, augmented, dominant 7ths, suspended, and beyond. Select any chord to see all theoretically valid positions across all supported instruments.
Slash bass chords, inversions and encrypted notations are all handled automatically.
