Tap a chord name for its chord chart. The sound is a simple guitar tone synthesized by your browser, so it won't sound exactly like a real guitar.

FAQ

What is a chord progression?

The order in which chords follow each other in a song. Most pop songs sit on a handful of progressions such as I–V–vi–IV (C–G–Am–F). Change the key and the same progression gets different chord names.

How do I use it for songwriting?

Pick a key, tap chords in the palette to add them in order, then press ▶. Under each chord you'll see its Roman numeral and role (home, moving, tension) plus how each change feels (authentic cadence, deceptive cadence, a sad iv…). Use “Copy link” to save it.

What can I type in?

Chord symbols separated by spaces — e.g. C G Am F, Dm7 G7 Cmaj7. Slash chords like G/B work too. Bar lines (|) and commas are ignored.

Which strumming patterns are there?

8 strumming patterns (8-beat calypso, quarter-note downstrokes, 16-beat ballad, shuffle, go-go, 3/4 waltz, reggae off-beat skank, one long strum) and 5 fingerpicking patterns (basic arpeggio, 16th-note ballad, Travis picking, 3/4 waltz, roll). Tempo changes during playback take effect from the next loop.

Can I use it as a backing track?

Yes — set the BPM and beats per chord and turn on loop. The metronome click helps you count, and the capo option shows the shapes to play.
