May 21, 2015 Download Ackord - the chord analyzer for free. The software takes midi input (e g from a midi keyboard) and prints on the screen what chord you are currently playing. The idea is to write the chords not the perfect logical way, but the way a musician would write it. Determining the tonal centers of a chord progression is a fundamental step when preparing for improvisation on those chords. If this process is still difficult for you, use the analyzer tool with different chord progressions, observe the relationship between chords, parent scales and tonal centers, and you will soon learn to do it by yourself.
With the button inversions and slash chords you can navigate through the list of the different chord interpretations. The corresponding chord symbol shows up above the fretboard and the spots of the chord shape will display the according notes or intervals.
If you choose to interpret a chord as a slash chord, the lowest note is added to the chord symbol after a slash. In return the interval it represents will not show up in the chord symbol anymore*. Example: Cmaj7(9)/D has the 9th in the bass and therefore can be written as Cmaj7/D.
*) If you prefer to write the full length chord symbol in front of the slash on your lead sheet, feel free to do so.

Which interpretation is the right one?
In most cases it's simply the shortest chord symbol, which is also the easiest one to read. But you should ask yourself what tone a bass player would play to it (even when there is no bass player playing along). Consider that tone as the chords root.
If the bass tone is the same as the lowest tone of the chord shape and the chord symbol seems too complex or doesn't make sense theoretically, you may consider to choose the easiest possible interpretation as slash chord.

Hint: if you don't use the low E-string in your chord shape, you can enter different bass notes in the analyzer and listen to the results (unfortunately the audio function is still very limited for mobile devices).
