How to identify

How to Identify chords and the role of each note ?

Place notes on the virtual fretboard

Touch the fretboard to place a note. Touch a note to delete it.

The name of the chord appears at the bottom of the screen

“Fabulus” will also tell you if the chord is without a third or without a fifth.

Test the different reversals

The position of the notes does not change but the name of the chord changes because the role of the notes changes.

Reversals :

symbols :

There will be as many reversals as there are different notes in the chord. Choose the inversion which has the right root note. If you don’t know the root note, take the inversion whose root is the lowest note : here we will choose Am7.

If you are trying to reproduce a chord seen in a video, there’s two difficulties to overcome:

A finger on a string can mute the string as well as play a note.
The guitarist may use a particular tuning

You will therefore have to compare each of the different names Fabulus gives you, with names you find on internet tabs. Also, verify that your chord sounds according to the one in the video. And if it sounds wrong, consider that the guitarist may use a particular tuning. There your search becomes more difficult but if you are really motivated know that “Fabulus” gives you the possibility to use any tuning.
