Chord! vs Guitar Scales & Chords Power Usage & Stats

Chord! is a chord and scale reference that works with any fretted instrument like guitar, basses, ukulele, banjos,… It computes and analyses all the possible fingerings for chords, scales, and arpeggios. With Chord!, you can also write a song by simply dragging and dropping chords, transpose it in any key, compute the fingerings with any tuning and generate a beautiful print-ready PDF, etc. You can also import your existing songs in text format (please note that the app does not ship with songs). You can also link audio tracks from your music library and play them at the same time while adjusting their pitch and/or speed. You don't even have to know music theory to use it: behind its brute force, the app knows how to handle by itself some subtleties of music to give meaningful results. If you don't have to be an advanced player to use the app, you can however take a look under the hood and tweak the parameters if you like! Whatever is your level or your instrument, Chord! will adapt and give you the most precise answer. You can search for any chord, split (like D/F#), or not. If you're a beginner, you can choose the chord from a list, but you can also use the intelligent keyboard to enter the chord as it is written. If this keyboard is a great way to enter chords, it is also very useful to discover and understand how the chords are formed. You can also enter some notes on a neck to find which chords it can be. You can hear how each fingering sounds. Chord arpeggios are also supported, as well as drop voicings (drop 2, drop3, etc.). The app also ships with the biggest list of named scales (and you can create your own scales). It analyses and presents them with nice interactive views (scale, score, and keyboard). Of course, it can also lay down these scales on a neck (with sound) and compute their fingerings. Like for chords, you can even search for a scale from its fingering! Each scale can be harmonized (decomposed into chords). You can also enter a sequence of chords to find which scale you can use to improvise onto. You can use one of the hundred tunings that ship with the app, or you can add your own ones, for any instrument, with or without a capo, even with broken strings if you want! The app uses custom and unique algorithms to generate charts, easily input complex harmonic structures, extract chords from fingerings, determine finger positions, compute keys of scales, generate chords from scales and find scales that go well with some chords. For example, Chord! is the right tool in these situations: • You want to have your songbook available at any time, in your pocket; • You're a beginner and you want to know how to play easily a D/F# chord; • One gave you a ukulele and you want to know how to tune it and how to play the G Hawaiian scale; • You want to know on what scale you can improvise for some chord sequence (and the answer can be different than the Pentatonic minor!); • You want to print your song and share it with your band. • You want to experiment with this nice open tuning, moreover with a bottleneck; • Your little sister can't make bar chords and you want to show her how she can do without bars, with three (little) fingers only; • You want to impress your little sister by showing her how you can play the same chords with two bars! • You want to understand how this fingering for C13 is actually a fingering for C13; • You broke a string and want to know how to play some chords without; • You want to know how Django managed to play with two and a half fingers. The app fully supports left-handed instruments. Main functions of the app: - Write, transpose, fingerize, print, and share songs; - Search chord fingerings (or chord charts); - Search chords from fingerings; - Search scale fingerings; - Search scales from fingerings; - Search chords from scale; - Search scales from chords.

Guitar Scales & Chords Power

To improve your guitar playing, learn scales, chords, and the relationship between them. Stay in tune with the tuner and enhance your rhythm by practicing with the metronome. Practice scale loops to master positions and develop muscle memory. Engage in scale exercises that will improve your finger dexterity and ability to improvise. Begin slowly and gradually increase your speed as you improve. Play scales and chords by swiping across the strings. The direction of the swipe determines whether the playback is ascending or descending. Tap on a note to play it. Scale positions correspond to the CAGED system, which consists of five patterns that cover the fretboard for each scale. The chord shape for each position is displayed to assist you in learning it in any key. The tuner offers a chromatic mode or the option to select from various tunings. The tuner and instruments use an adj. reference frequency, set to 410 Hz - 470 Hz (default A = 440 Hz). The Circle of Fifths displays common chords for a key, aiding in composing music, learning key signatures, and transposing songs to different keys. Metronome provides click and drum voices, beat subdivisions, and tap to set the BPM (10 - 400). Time signatures: 2/2, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Create PDF diagrams (color and black-and-white) of scale positions or all notes on a full fretboard, as well as diagrams of all chord notes on a full fretboard. These 8.5” x 11” PDFs are easy to print, save, and share. FEATURES: • Chromatic tuner • Scale position and exercise loops with adj. playback speed • Chord and scale information, including their compatibility • Chord/scale notes display letter, interval, and fingering • Chord/scale playback - choose from 5 instruments and set them independently • Count-in option before scale playback • Play scales and chords together to hear them in combination • 48 alternate tunings • Guitar display (vertical/horizontal and right/left-handed) • iPhone - zoom in/out to see the complete fretboard • iPad - 3 fretboards: full, scales, and chords • One-time purchase usable on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch SCALES: Pentatonic etc: Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, Blues (Minor Blues), Major Blues Major modes: Ionian (Major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (Relative Minor) and Locrian Harmonic Minor modes: Harmonic Minor, Phrygian Dominant (Spanish Gypsy) Melodic Minor modes: Melodic Minor Ascending (Jazz Minor), Dorian b2 (Javanese), Lydian Augmented, Lydian Dominant (Overtone), Mixolydian b6 (Hindu), Locrian #2 (Half-Diminished), Super Locrian (Altered) Symmetrical: Chromatic, Half/Whole Diminished (Octatonic), Whole/Half Diminished, Whole Tone Miscellaneous: Bebop Dominant CHORDS: Major: Major, Major 7th (maj7), Major 9th (maj9), Major 13th (maj13), Major 6th (6), Major add9 (add9), and Major 6add9 (6/9) Minor: Minor (m), Minor 7th (m7), Minor 9th (m9), Minor 11th (m11), Minor 13th (m13), Minor 6th (m6), Minor Major 7th (m(maj7)), and Minor 7th b5th (m7b5) (Half-Diminished) Dominant: Dominant 7th (7), Dominant 9th (9), Dominant 11th (11), Dominant 13th (13), and Dominant 7th sus4th (7sus4) Altered Dominant: Dominant 7th b5th (7b5), Dominant 7th #5th (7#5), Dominant 7th b9th (7b9), and Dominant 7th #9th (7#9) Other: Augmented (aug), Diminished (dim), Diminished 7th (dim7), Perfect 5th (5) (Power Chord), Suspended 2nd (sus2), and Suspended 4th (sus4) TUNINGS: Standard, Std.
