Chord! Free (Guitar Chords) 4.2

Chord! is a comprehensive app designed for guitarists and other fretted instrument players, such as bassists, ukuleleists, and banjoists. It stands out from other chord chart apps because it doesn't rely on preloaded charts. Instead, it analyzes and computes all possible fingerings to deliver accurate results. You don't even need to have a deep understanding of music theory to use it, as the app is equipped with intelligent algorithms that account for nuances in music.

Regardless of your skill level or instrument of choice, Chord! will adapt to meet your needs and provide you with precise information. Although it is beginner-friendly, more advanced users can explore the app's settings and parameters to customize their experience.

The free version of Chord! features a fully functional chord search, but with limited scales (5 out of 400), fewer tunings (8 instead of over 100), and the absence of reverse chord and scale search as well as custom tunings database. However, the fingering engine in the free version is just as powerful as in the paid version.

With Chord!, you can search for practically any chord, whether it is split or not (e.g., D/F#). Beginners can choose chords from a provided list, while more experienced users can input chords directly using the intelligent keyboard. Aside from facilitating chord entry, this keyboard is also a valuable tool for understanding how chords are constructed. You can even listen to how each fingering sounds. In the paid version, you can also input notes on a neck to discover which chords they belong to.

In addition to chords, Chord! boasts an extensive collection of named scales (5 in the free version). The app provides interactive views of these scales, including graphical representations and sound demonstrations. The full version allows you to search for scales based on their fingerings, analyze them by breaking them down into chords, or find suitable scales for a given chord progression.

The free version of Chord! offers a limited selection of tunings, whereas the full version includes over a hundred tunings and allows users to add their own, irrespective of the instrument, capo usage, or even string breakage.

Chord! sets itself apart by utilizing custom and unique algorithms. These algorithms enable the app to generate charts, input complex harmonic structures, extract chords from fingerings, determine fingering positions, compute scale keys, generate chords from scales, and find compatible scales for specific chords.

Chord! proves to be an invaluable tool in various scenarios. For example:
