MyChordFinder

You've found a shape that sounds good and you have no idea what it's called. That's the job MyChordFinder does best. Tap the fret you play on each string and the identifier names every exact match, including the bass note. Enter x32010 and it returns C. Going the other way, pick a chord name and it draws shapes for it. Press Hear chord and you'll hear the notes you selected, played with recorded acoustic guitar samples.

It works from the frets you enter. The site is upfront that it doesn't listen through a microphone or name the chords in a recording, so it won't work out a song for you.

The same site has pages for guitar scales, chord progressions, piano chords and beginner chords, plus a transpose and capo chart.

The about page is careful about the diagrams. It calls them candidate shapes worked out from chord tones and fretboard geometry, with no promise of a particular fingering. A teacher or a chord book may still show a more comfortable way to play one.

Everything is free and there's no sign-up. According to the privacy page, updated October 7, 2026, the calculations happen on your device and your current selection is stored in the page address after the #, so a chord you've built can be bookmarked. Google Analytics loads only if you choose Allow analytics.

Two things may change. By its own account, the site plans to show third-party ads but has no ad network connected yet, and it has joined affiliate programs through CJ Affiliate, so some links to music shops and courses may earn it a commission. Nobody is named as the operator. The site runs under the My Chord Finder name with a contact email.

Next time a shape sounds right and you can't name it, this is a handy page to have bookmarked.
