Location: Connersville, Indiana | Does anyone know if there is a website or app for the smart phone where you can locate and identify chords.. I have a electric chord finder and a big 2 inch book. But what my question really is.....Is there an application where you would like touch a string on a fret and it puts a dot, then x on not played strings and O's on open strings played. Then it reads this and tells you what chord it is. I can figure out the root note, but understanding if it's a 9th, aug, dim, Dominate I can't. Since I have begun working with other artist with collaborations I need to be able to id the chord I'm playing so the bass player, and lead gutter player knows what I'm doing.
And for me to be a better player and writer.
Any suggestions? |

| I don't have an iPhone, so I can't speak to any standalone apps for that, but a great website for what you describe is jguitar.com, specifically their chord namer . A web-enabled smart phone should be able to reach that page. |

Location: closely held secret | Just google "smartphone chord finder". It depends entirely on which phone you have (you neglected to mention). There are apps for iphone and android, probably others. |

Location: Jet City | Kitmann, the answer is yes. I have an iPhone, so I don't know if your phone will work or not.
If you're going to pay for a guitar utility app, "Guitar Toolkit" is the one to have. It has one of the best tuners I've seen on a phone built in, chords library (largest I've seen), metronome, scales, and more.
AND YES, you can actually place dots on a fretboard and it will tell the chord name.
IN ADDITION... all of these features are great for a guitar, but it will do all of these great things on a 6,7, and 12 string guitar, 4,5,and 6 string basses, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele.
I highly recommend it. |
