Chord Detective

Play any chord or a single note. I’ll show you which strings you’re holding and what the chord is called.

Tip: strum firmly and hold the mandolin still. The detective knows major, minor, seventh, major seventh, sixth, sus, diminished and augmented chords in the first five frets. Some shapes sound the same (e.g. Am7 and C6) – then both names are shown.
