EGBDF - FACE

    The famous "Every Good Boy Does Fine" and "F.A.C.E" phrases are great to use when building or identifying chords, The sharps and flats depend on what key you are playing in - Only the key of C uses egbdface with no sharps or flats, If you are playing in the Key of E then the phrases would then be:

"Every - Good# - Boy - Does# - Fine#" and "F# - A - C# - E"...

    Regardless of what key you are in, You will find that all of the chords follow the egbdface pattern. Our raw Chords Database depends on the proper tone order to get the correct results, Searching for C E G shows all the chords that contain a C E and G - however, searching for E G C produces no results because the chords are entered using the natural tone order...

    Ordering the tone is also crucial to identifying what a chord is, Some chords are just inversions of other chords like the A C E G and C E G A - You could say either its an inverted A minor 7th or a C major 13th. Which chord you use is a matter of opinion, If you argue that it depends on what you play as the bass then you are ignoring inversions. Either name is correct and the C major and A minor are relatives, This means that they follow each other around - If one chord fits in the song you are playing then the other one fits just as well.

The enharmonic key (Gb/F#) can be confusing because the B is called Cb in the key of Gb and the F is called E# in the key of F#
