If you've ever watched a solo and wondered "how did they know to play that there?" — this app answers that. GOOD TO KNOW Guitar Mode Finder is built around the seven diatonic modes. It reads a wide range of chords — triads, sevenths, sus, add, 6/9, and power chords — but highly altered voicings (for example 7b9 or 7#9) fall outside the diatonic model and aren't supported yet.
