Is there piano chord finder?

Q. Is there a web application what i can input the notes, and it tells me what chord is being played for piano?

A. You can make one.
You need:

several sheets of cardboard or poster board
a pencil
a felt marker
a compass
a ruler
a protractor
a copper pin fastener
a pair of scissors.

Here's what you do:

1. With the compass, draw a circle on one sheet of cardboard or posterboard.
2. With the protractor and pencil, divide that circle into 12 slices of 30 degrees each.
3. With the scissors, cut the circle out.
4. With the felt marker, label those slices on the edge as C, G, d, A, E, B, F#, C#, Ab, Eb, Bb, F.

You have now finished making the Circle of Fifths.

5. Cut out another circle the same size as the Circle of Fifths.
Cut out peepholes for C, G, and E.
Draw an arrow pointing to the C.
With the felt marker, label this as "major."

6. Flip the major wheel over and try laying it on the Circle of Fifths.
You should be able to adjust it so that you see C, G, and Eb.
On this side also, draw an arrow pointing to the C.
Label this side "minor."

7. Make another wheel like the major wheel, only this time, cut another peephole for the Bb.
Again, draw an arrow pointing to the C.
Label this one "seventh."

8. For "diminished seventh," cut out peepholes for C, Eb, F#, and A, but don't draw any arrows.
This same chord can go all four ways.

9. For "augmented," the peepholes are at C, E, G#.
This chord can go all three ways.

To find a major chord, put the major wheel on top of the Circle of Fiths, fasten in the center with the copper pin, and rotate.
Whatever the arrow is pointing to is the name of the major chord.

The same procedure serves for all the other chords.

For French sixths, the peepholes are at Ab, C, D, and F#.
For Italian sixths, the peepholes are at Ab, C, and F#.
For German sixths, you can use the wheel for sevenths.
But that's getting into advanced theory.

WHAT IS THAT SMALL METAL RING IN THE CENTER THAT ALLOWS FOR THE SPINNING? whats it called and where can I get it and instructions to make a wheel using it? whats the general name for these interactive spinning wheels?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

A. The small metal ring could be a paper clasp/fastener (the split-type that you can purchase at a stationary store).

The general name for the wheels is a "Key Transposing Wheel".

Original Question

How would I find the best guitar chords for a song?
Q. I'm writing a song, and all I have left is to write the last verse. I wrote the lyrics from all the words floating around in my brain, and I'm putting it to music right now, using my piano. It sounds okay, but I really want to figure out what guitar chords would sound good with it. I am relatively new to guitar, and I haven't had many lessons. But I have access to an acoustic guitar which could hook up to an amp (if I had one) and a capo, not to mention a book on learning guitar, several various picks, and a great teacher, so, if any of you could tell me how to put these to good use and write my song, that'd be great!

A. What chords are yo playing on the piano? The chords will be the same. Of course yo can always enhance the sound of a song by changing a chord from a C to a Cmaj7 for instance which is also the same as an Am9. IT might help you if you had a guitar wheel. http://www.amazon.com/The-Guitar-Wheel-TM-gw01/dp/B001DW6RJC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1310236365&sr=8-3 or chord wheel http://www.amazon.com/Chord-Wheel-Ultimate-Tool-Musicians/dp/0634021427/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310236365&sr=8-1 or both.

You may also want to check out the ChordWizard - http://www.chordwizard.com/products.aspx this company makes some very helpful software for anyone wanting to learn the guitar or write music using the guitar. I have used ChordWizard products to assist me in writing many of my songs.

What I typically do when I have a song idea in my head, is to learn it on the keyboard first. That always seems easier. Once I have the melody down, I figure out harmonies to go with it which gives me the basic chords. Then I learn them on the guitar. Sometimes, I just doesn't have the sound I think is right and so I'll use Chord Wizard to give me ideas of other chords that would fit correctly into the chord progression I have to work with. The results always amazes me.
