Looking for the chords of a key rather than a root? The key explorer groups them by what they do, and the neo-soul harmoniser puts chords under a melody. The same chords with no key attached — one shape and twelve roots — are on the moveable shapes page, and read as scales rather than as shapes they are on the scale index. Where the shapes and the theory come from is on the about page.
