## What is Chordwerk?

Practice guitar with the songs you actually want to play.

Import a song or record it – Chordwerk detects chords, key, tempo and song sections right on your iPhone. Then just play along: the app shows you in time which chord is sounding, how to fret it and which notes on the fretboard fit a solo.

PLAY ALONG WITH CHORDS
• Automatic chord detection for the whole song
• Current and next chord in large type, upcoming chords always in view
• Chord diagrams for every chord – also for Eb tuning and Drop D
• Playback speed 50–100 % without changing the pitch
• Sharps or flats – however you read music

SCALES & IMPROVISATION
• Fretboard with the key's pentatonic scale and the notes of the current chord
• Show intervals (1 3 5) or note names
• Zoom and full-screen landscape view of the whole fretboard

FOCUSED PRACTICE
• Chordwerk detects the song sections – practice one section or several in a row
• Loop, slower tempo, metronome and count-in

YOUR SONGS
• Import audio files: MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF, FLAC and more
• Import videos – from Files or straight from the Photos app; Chordwerk only uses the audio track
• Record yourself: your own playing or a song through a speaker

PRIVATE
All analysis runs on your device. No sign-up, no tracking, no ads – your songs never leave your iPhone.
