Shane McDonald's Complete List of Piano / Keyboard Chords

This site was the inspiration for my List-of-chords.com, so many thanks to Shane. It doesn't have much information about each chord other than an image, but I have to give props to the man, because otherwise I wouldn't have created list-of-chords.com

The Original Flash-based Piano Chord Finder

This was one of my first flash-based music tools. It's a piano chord finder that animates the playing of the notes by having the note name fly up towards you in a cheesy 3D way. It alsy has some tools for moving the chords around the circle of fifths, and adding on 9ths, 13ths and other notes with a drop-down menu.

Chord Types Related to Geometic Patterns

This was an experiment where I thought, "What if you made buttons for the different types of piano chords in different geometic shapes?" So I made the button for a M7 chord a different shape than the button for a dim7 chord, etc. The end result is kind of lame and wonky, but this was an early experiment for me when I was learning flash. The design also makes me want to barf when I look at now, but hey, it's free.

The "Volume Slider" Chord Finder

Another lame early attempt at a piano chord finder. It uses a volume slider type interface to select the chord root and then blue buttons with white text to select the chord type.
