The fretboard gets easier when you can see the small chord shapes inside it. Guitar triads is a practice app for learning triads, 6th chords, and 7th chords across the neck. Not as diagrams to stare at. As shapes you actually drill, hear, and move through in time. If you already know open chords and barre chords, this is the next layer: smaller voicings, cleaner movement, and more options when you comp, write, improvise, or learn songs by ear. Practice one chord everywhere Choose a root, chord quality, and string set. Guitar triads shows you the inversions of that chord across the neck, then cycles through them at your tempo. Use it to stop learning one grip at a time. See where the same chord lives on different string sets and in different positions. Practice chords inside a key Pick a key and work with the chords that belong together. Run the diatonic chords in order, or drill common progressions like I-IV-V, ii-V-I, I-V-vi-IV, and minor-key movements. Stay in one fret range, or move through the neck as you play. Go beyond basic triads Triads are the foundation, but the app does not stop there. Pro includes 6th chords and 7th chords, so you can practice richer voicings and start hearing how those colors fit into real progressions. Guided lessons Use short lessons to understand what you are practicing, not just where to put your fingers. Learn how triad shapes connect, how inversions work, and why the same chord can feel completely different depending on where you play it. Features • Major, minor, diminished, and augmented triads • 6th and 7th chord practice with Pro • Guided lessons — Major & Minor free, all chords with Pro • All 12 keys with Pro • Four three-string sets: 321, 432, 543, 654 • Fret-range presets from open position up to the 15th fret • Common progressions inside each key • Custom progressions with Pro • Note names or Roman numerals • Pentatonic scale overlay • Hint dots for the next shape • Full-neck chord reference • Chord playback and metronome • Adjustable BPM from 40 to 200 • Optional count-in and beat haptics Built for intermediate guitarists This is for players who are tired of the neck feeling like a set of disconnected boxes. Triads help you see the chord tones. 6th and 7th chords give you more harmonic color. Progression drills make the shapes feel musical instead of random. Practice a little every day and the neck starts to open up. Chords become nearby choices, not shapes you have to search for. Free and Pro Start free in the key of C, including guided lessons for Major and Minor triads. Guitar triads Pro includes all 12 keys, 6th chords, 7th chords, guided lessons, custom progressions, fret-range cycling, and the full Key Mode practice system.

Mandoland
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mandoland is a mandolin chord finder that stays out of your way. Type a chord like Cmaj7, F#m or Bb7, or tap a root note and a chord type, and Mandoland shows you three ways to play it: - A two-finger shape, for when the change is coming up fast - The common shape players actually reach for - A movable barre you can slide up the neck unchanged Major, minor and dominant-7 chords across all twelve roots use hand-curated voicings taken from standard mandolin chord references, so what you see is a fingering a mandolin player would recognise. Everything else is worked out by a playability engine that prefers low positions, small stretches, open strings and a root in the bass. CHORD TYPES Major, minor, 7, maj7, m7, 6, m6, sus2 and sus4 are shown by default. Flip on Advanced for dim, aug, dim7, m7b5, add9 and 9. SCALES Switch to Scales to see the major, natural minor, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic and blues scales laid out across the full twelve-fret neck, with every root note highlighted. BUILT FOR PLAYING, NOT BROWSING Standard G-D-A-E tuning. Big buttons you can hit without looking. Diagrams that tell you which strings to leave open and which to skip. Mandoland works entirely offline. There is no account to make, no sign-in, and nothing to subscribe to. It collects no data about you at all.
