Chord Note Finder

C E G

Spell out any chord in seconds. Choose a root note and a chord quality, from a plain major or minor triad to sevenths, diminished, augmented, suspended and extended shapes, and this tool lists the exact notes in the chord. It works by stacking the correct semitone intervals on top of your root, so a major chord is the root plus four and seven semitones while a minor seventh adds three, seven and ten. Knowing the notes helps you find a voicing on any instrument, write a bass line, or check a chart. The tool wraps note names around the octave cleanly and shows the interval formula it used, so you can learn the pattern rather than just read the answer. Change the root or quality and the spelling updates right away.
