Members LCK Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm trying to figure out the name of this chord: It starts as a simple B minor: D, F#, B, then I move the B to a B flat to it's D F# Bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 D Aug works but the Bb needs to be A# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted October 7, 2017 Members Share Posted October 7, 2017 fyi... The augmented triad is symetrical with every note being a Major 3rd apart. This means that any note in the chord can be used to name it. The choice of name usually depends on the context in which the chord is used.

Members 1001gear Posted October 7, 2017 Members Share Posted October 7, 2017 Technically it would have to be respelled per inversion D F# A# F# A# Cx A# Cx Ex Although I doubt this happens a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 7, 2017 Members Share Posted October 7, 2017 Oops. Bb Aug per the OP's spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LCK Posted October 8, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yeah, I had a feeling it was a B not a D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted October 8, 2017 Members Share Posted October 8, 2017 Long ago forum contributor Eddie Boston (Eddie Sullivan when he's not on stage) created this adjunct to his string instrument oriented Chorderator.com website, the Chord Designer: http://www.chorderator.com/designer/ It consists of a customizable fretboard graphic (you can change number of strings and tuning, so it works for any fretted string instrument) which you place fretted, open, or muted notes/strings Plug in a guitar or other string instrument chord fingering and it will spit out potential names for that chord. It's especially useful for those of us who come up with interesting chords on our own that work in various contexts but which defy easy naming. Here's the chord that I've long loved to play but hated to try to put a name to: http://www.chorderator.com/designer?...ts=0+0+5+5+0+0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted October 8, 2017 Members Share Posted October 8, 2017 I don't normally post here but I've been using Chorderator.com for quite a while. I can usually figure out basic stuff but I lack the theory to come up with names for oddball chords. Excellent resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 9, 2017 Members Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah' date=' I had a feeling it was a B not a D.[/quote'] Still contingent on what key and how the chord in question functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
