How to play Name That Chord

  1. Press Play: you’ll hear a C major chord to set the key, then the mystery chord.
  2. Listen for the bass note (the lowest note) to find the root, then decide whether it sounds major (bright) or minor (darker).
  3. Level 1 uses only the six chords of C major — C, Dm, Em, F, G and Am — the chords in thousands of songs. Then try any major or minor chord, then 7ths.
  4. Wrong? Compare the two chords to hear the difference.
