ChordsVault vs Functional Harmony

ChordsVault is the mobile entry into the ChordsVault portal for creating, designing and sharing guitar (and other instruments) chords and songs. ChordsVault is easy to use but provides great flexibility for songs transcribers and song readers / performers. Unlike many other sites, ChordsVault lets you design chords on the fly, reuse chords between songs, share songs and chords, and transpose songs to different keys, tunings and instruments.
