Software: Visual Studio 2013
This app, for windows phone 8.1, offers the opportunity to find the most compatible scale to a series of chords or just a series of casual notes entered by the user, and also provides a list of the most common chords and scales.
Every note is provided with realistic sound.
You can find the app in the store HERE!
Here the main menu, below a detailed description of the four functions. |
1. Enter a Chord
Every column represents a chord, written like a standard guitar tab, so, from the top to the bottom, the strings are: e, B, G, D, A, E, and the precise note in every string is indicated with the fret number.
With the CheckBox you can enable/disable the chord. The six vertical blocks represent the string, tap them to insert or modify the notes. Use the button to delete the entire chord. |
