See Your Scales and Chords on the Guitar Fretboard

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Interactive Chord Finder has always shown scale notes and chord tones on a two-octave piano keyboard. That works well if you think in terms of keys, but guitarists think in terms of fret positions and string patterns. Starting today, you can switch to a guitar fretboard view that maps the same musical information across six strings and fifteen frets.

How to Use It

Below the scale selector you will find a small Piano | Guitar toggle. Click Guitar to switch. Your choice is remembered between sessions, so the tool opens in whichever view you used last.

Practice Chord Recognition with the Chord Practice Tool

Knowing which chords belong to a key is one thing. Recalling them instantly under time pressure is something else entirely. Whether you are sight-reading a lead sheet, improvising over a backing track, or composing on the fly, the speed at which you recognise and name chords makes a real difference. That is exactly what the new Chord Practice tool is designed to help with.

What the Chord Practice Tool Does

The practice tool presents diatonic chords one at a time, on a timer, and asks you to identify or play each chord before the next one appears. Think of it as flashcards for chord recognition, but with audio, a metronome, and optional MIDI keyboard input.

You want to know which chords fit in a key. You want to hear them, see them on a keyboard, and maybe build a progression you can play along with. The Interactive Chord Finder does all of that in your browser — no account, no download, no ads. This article walks you through every section of the tool so you can get the most out of it.

Choosing a Key and Scale

At the top of the page you will find two selectors: the root key and the scale.
