smart Chords: 40 guitar tools… V11.25.2

smartChord: A Comprehensive Toolbox for Musicians

smartChord offers an impressive collection of 40 powerful tools designed to enhance the learning, composing, and playing experience for both students and professional musicians. Suitable for a wide range of stringed instruments, including guitar, ukulele, bass, and more, this toolbox has become the ultimate reference for chords, scales, and picking patterns in any tuning.

Expect nothing less than the best when it comes to integrated tools. You'll find essential features such as a tuner, metronome, and circle of fifths, but with added enhancements. For instance, the tuner comes with an extra string change mode, while the metronome features a speed trainer to help you improve your timing.

With its extensive chord library, smartChord leaves no stone unturned. It provides detailed chord information and fingerings for every instrument and tuning. On the flip side, it can also provide chord names based on fingering input.

The songbook offered by smartChord stands out from the crowd. It grants you access to the world's largest catalogs of lyrics, chords, and TABs. Registration and account details are not required. Moreover, it offers the ability to convert songs between different instruments and tunings seamlessly. The songbook also boasts an array of functional features such as intelligent line breaks, auto-scrolling, zooming capabilities, audio and video players, a drum machine, YouTube integration, pedal support, an online editor and viewer, and much more.

For those looking to explore scales in-depth, smartChord provides an abundance of options. You can play scales with a variety of patterns seen in professional settings. Additionally, smartChord offers diatonic chord information for each scale and the ability to derive scales from specific chord progressions.

What truly sets smartChord apart are its extraordinary tools. From a fingerpicking trainer and transposer to a tone generator and drum machine for songbook accompaniment or rhythm training, this toolbox has it all. It even introduces the innovative scale circle, which applies the principles of the circle of fifths to hundreds of scales and modes.

smartChord caters to a diverse audience:

• Teachers and students can easily exchange exercises or songs.
• Singers and songwriters can create chord progressions and explore new voicings.
• Bands have the ability to create setlists and synchronize them with their songs.

Moreover, smartChord is suitable for everyone, regardless of the instrument they play. Beyond guitar and bass, it works equally well with instruments like cavaquinho, charango, cigar-box guitar, or mandolin. The toolbox adapts to playing levels (beginner, advanced, expert), accommodates both right- and left-handed players, is available in eight languages, supports transposition in various keys, and caters to different musical notation preferences (Western, Solfège, or Nashville Number System).
