Finding the scale

[DEATH's_Shadow]

Is there any website or anything that you guys know about that you could put a set of chords into and it would spit out the scale that those chords all fit into? I'm sure there would be many options to every set of chords, but even still, I'd like to have that set of options. The reason for this is that I just came up with rhythm I'd like to solo over, and I wanted to know what scale I could use, and in which key. Thanks, if anyone knows.

(BTW I tried typing "scale finder" into Google, lol it didn't work so great so I came here :p )

what chords are you using?

Well... I'm not sure of the names. I sort of made them up myself. Two of them are E minor and G, but that won't help you much. I'm not sure of the other chord's names.

OK first things first. Click here. (http://www.chordbook.com/guitarchords.php?v=1)
This chord generator will let you place the dots and then it tells you what chord you have invented. Have to use the menu button - right hand side of the screen toward the top of the screen. Then use the Name Chord button. Place your dots on the fretboard and do not forget to X out the strings you are not sounding.

OK that will give you the names of the chords you are using. To find the key these chords are in. Click here. (http://www.guitarists.net/lessons/view.php?id=109)
And then find the key that has your chords. All of your chords - you may have to change one or two to make them fit into a key, i.e. go from a D to a Dm, etc.

After you have identified the key you have identified the scale as they have the same name. You may run into a problem with Harmonic Minor or Melodic Minor, but work around it (change your chords a little to make them fit into the Major or natural minor scale)

Have fun.
