Chords by Staventabs vs Chords & Scales for Guitar Usage & Stats
We know how enjoyable it is to play your favorite song on the guitar, ukulele, or piano. But sometimes, you might forget how to play a particular chord. That’s why we created this app — so you never have to worry about that again. Just launch Chords, find the desired chord, and enjoy playing.

• Chord Editor
The Chords by Staventabs app is designed as both an assistant for learning chord construction theory and a tool for exploring chord charts. The lightweight and intuitive editor displays the basic parameters of the current chord.
• Alternative Diagrams
The built-in search engine generates a comprehensive list of alternative diagrams for the chord defined in the editor. Choose the most suitable finger placement and voicing for your playing style.
• Chord Types
Work with a wide range of chord types — over fifty in total — grouped by form, such as Triad, Added tone, Power, and Seventh. For convenience, each type is color-coded according to its quality: Major, Minor, Augmented, Dominant, and others.
• Root Note
The root note chooser provides information about which notes belong to the chord when a specific item is selected. Enharmonically equivalent notes with the same pitch class share identical colors.
• Bass Note and Inversions
Make a chord inverted or add a bass note by choosing from the options allowed for the current chord.
• Bookmarks
Save your favorite chords and access them seamlessly across all your devices.
