# Guitar Chord Tool

## 1. Forward Lookup (Chord Name → Notes)

```bash
python3 chord_identifier.py <chord_name>
```

Example:
```
python3 chord_identifier.py Cmaj7
→ **Cmaj7**
  Notes: C, E, G, B
```

## 2. With Chord Diagram

```bash
python3 chord_identifier.py <chord_name> --diagram
```

## 3. Reverse Lookup (Notes → Chord Name)

```bash
python3 chord_identifier.py --identify <note1> [note2] ...
```

Example:
```
python3 chord_identifier.py --identify C E G B
→ Result:
  • Cmaj7
```

## 4. Chord Inversions

```bash
python3 chord_identifier.py --inversion <chord_name>
```

Example:
```
python3 chord_identifier.py --inversion C7
→ **C7** inversions:
  Root: C, E, G, A#
  1st: E, G, A#, C
  2nd: G, A#, C, E
  3rd: A#, C, E, G
```

## 5. Scale Lookup

```bash
python3 chord_identifier.py --scale "<scale>"
python3 chord_identifier.py --scale "<scale>" --diagram
```

Supported scales:
- `major`, `minor`, `harmonic_minor`, `melodic_minor`
- `pentatonic_major`, `pentatonic_minor`, `blues`
- `dorian`, `phrygian`, `lydian`, `mixolydian`, `locrian`

Example:
```
python3 chord_identifier.py --scale "C major"
→ **C Major**
  Scale: C, D, E, F, G, A, B
```

Formula: **Actual Pitch = Open Chord Pitch + Capo Fret**
