Great resource in a hurry

I love having a quick way to pull up the more unusual chords in a hurry. Basic minors and majors aside, the music i am playing now uses more suspended chords which are not always easy to draw strictly from memory. This app easily and quickly fills that gap. Nice job!

Refreshingly simple!

This is a very handy app that does one simple thing, shows you any guitar chord you can think of in a beautiful minimalistic manner. Unlike the sea of guitar apps out there, it achieves this without shoving ads or subscription offers in your face. Well done.

Never search for chord sheets again!

I am always forgetting chords because I don’t play often enough. I’m always searching for a chord sheet that I downloaded and printed or looking in the back of guitar books. With this app, I don’t have to do that anymore!

Great Wee App

Nice app to keep handy for all those chords you’ve forgotten or simply don’t know yet. Just finding my way around it. No major gripes, but not sure why there is the left/right hand selector on-screen all the time. I would rather have seen options for playing chords further up the neck made available. In short, defo worth having and a big thanks to the developer

Very Very helpful

I find this app very useful, I often use it to refresh my memory on seldom used cords and I compare cords I learned as Jazz type to not so jazzy cord sounds. You might give examples of progressive cords in major, minor, 7 using D, A, and E shapes for those just learning cords, how learning the progressions can give a new cord learner tons of cords very easily. Great work!

Great little app!

I am a professional musician. Occasionally, I still need to look up the more unusual chords. While the author says they’re basic, I guess that depends on how you define it.

I highly recommend the app to anyone who needs to look up a chord quickly. There are two variations of each chord which is usually enough. That is, one you have the chord, you know the notes and can form the chord anywhere you’d like, which would be a good exercise for beginners.

Right now the app is free, so you really can’t go wrong. It’s a nice, useful little app. My thanks to the author for making it available.

Learned a new chord

So far in learning chords with this app I have been able to learn one new chord after getting a bit mixed up by the dominant hand feature and I enjoyed it the whole time now I am hopeful to learn all the chords in the next couple of hours. It would be nice if it were possible to scroll through recently viewed chords to make learning a whole progression easier. Also the A6 chord appears to be wrong

Very simple but useful chord reference

I’m just starting to learn guitar and it is great to have a free app with no ads or other gimmicks, yet a very good set of chords. I play left handed and the dominant hand mode was a little unclear. I found another app with pictures of the strings tsunamis help orient me. Once I did, I realized that I wanted right hand dominant. Some way of indicating which lines represent which strings would help a lot. I’ll keep using this app as my main washing to study chords for the foreseeable future.

Easy to use and helpful to have!

I have been casually playing guitar for many years. There have been times in my life that I played often and with other players. However, I did go through a period where I hardly played at all. Now that I am getting back to playing on a regular basis this app has been been great! Sure I have a chord finder book but with this app there’s no flipping pages. I feel that for an older player like myself or someone starting out this app is perfect! Thanks!

Nice App!!

Simple, easy to use app that quickly provides fingering for most of the guitar cords I will ever use. I used to have a guitar cord reference book, but this is much quicker to use. I also like the sizing of the images on the screen of my iPhone which are easy to see.
