The Groveland Chord DNA Sequencer

This is a handy tool - Ever have a cluster of notes and not know what to call them?
Where they don't seem to fit in any chord you know, and any names you come up with are a stretch of the imagination?

Well, there's a real good chance that you're just seeing a partial chord, a weird inversion, or the greater context has some clues as to what it really is. This tool can help identify that chord fragment.

Just select the notes in question in the box on the left (CTRL left-click) and click the "Get Chords" button. Then explore all the possibilities for that chord fragment. It will be in there in there somewhere... And as always, we wish you many successful expeditions!
