## What is Minute Chords?

Minute Chords is the fastest way to build smooth, confident chord changes on guitar.

The #1 skill bottleneck for beginner and intermediate players is slow chord transitions. Minute Chords fixes that with focused, timed practice — one minute per chord pair, tracked and scored.

HOW IT WORKS
• App shows two random chords to switch between
• You get one minute — change chords as many times as you can
• Your score is recorded so you can track improvement over time
• Repeat daily for rapid, measurable progress

CHORD LIBRARY (full version)
A, Am, A7, B, Bm, B7, C, D, Dm, D7, E, Em, F, F easy, F bar, G, G v2 — 17 essential chords covering everything a beginner and intermediate player needs.

WHY IT WORKS
Deliberate practice with a timer forces you to stay focused. Seeing your score improve each session keeps you motivated. Most players see noticeable improvement within a week of daily practice.

PERFECT FOR
• Complete beginners learning their first open chords
• Intermediate players cleaning up transitions
• Anyone who wants to build muscle memory fast

### 5/5 — Great chord review app

*2014-05-27, version 1.2*

Nice little app. Great for people learning guitar to get used to reading chird charts or even for more experienced players who want to challenge themselves. 
I look forward to seeing more chords being added.

### 5/5 — Excellent app for guitar

*2014-04-22, version 1.0*

This is an excellent app for learning songs, such a handy app to download instead of looking on the internet for every chord. 

It's very simple to use, but maybe we could add more advanced chords to learn. Perhaps different categories from beginner, medium to advanced style chords and maybe theory to help remember. But other than that, it's an excellent app
