Use this page to learn about or experiment with simple to advanced jazz chords. You can play a chord on the keyboard and see its name displayed, then transpose or invert it. Or you can build a chord from its name and see how to play it, either in its raw form or with improved spacing.

You can share the currently displayed chord - click below and copy the link:
