FEED Guitar Chord

Hey what’s up, it’s Andrew from Traveling Guitarist. This is my All Guitar Chords Tool. It’s a work in progress at the moment, but as you can see, the bare bones show you what it’s capable of.

The goal is to have as many guitar chords as possible organized by chord and key signature. You’ll find Major, Minor, Extended, Altered, and uncommon chords as well – all in one place.

All the while having the ability to shift between voicings and hear what the chord is going to sound like in real time.

Notice how the chord also tells you which note is what part of the chord, ie, the root, the 3rd, 5th, or the 7th.

Let me know what you think of it in in the comment section below. And what kind of chords you’d like to see added to it.

How To Use The Guitar Chord Tool

1) Scroll Left and Right To See More Chords

Hover your mouse over the bottom of the chord tool’s chords, and then scroll on your mouse from left to right to move through different kinds of chords.

One of the first things you need to know about the chord tool is that it is scrollable.

In other words, you can do as I just mentioned in the image’s caption above and scroll through chords. The chord isn’t just limited to what’s visible.

2) Select A Root Note

Select a root note by simply clicking on one of the displayed notes as shown here.

The chord tool features all 12 notes.

3) Select A Chord Type

Scroll through the chord types and select which one you’d like to use.

As of now, the chord tool has over 20 different types, however, it’ll expand beyond that as time goes on.

4) Browse Multiple Voicings

Click the voicings button as shown here to scroll through the various voicings.

Every time you do so you’ll encounter a new voicing. The chord tool will automatically play the sound as you’re using it.

5) Use Playback/Audio Feature to Hear It

Press the Play/Pause button to use playback. It’ll play the chord again according to however many times you press it.

6) Understand Open-String vs Fretted String Dots

As it states, the translucent purple dots represent open-string notes.

This differentiates itself from the darker purple buttons which are fretted notes.

This allows for the tool to show open-string voicings much easier on mobile devices.

7) Change the Tunings

Choose a different tuning to hear what the chord sounds like in a different tuning.

It also changes the root name of the chord. This allows you to figure out what the chord is while using a different tuning.

As it currently stands, the logic doesn’t support changes elsewhere, ie, it doesn’t change the tones or the names of the notes, but it does change the information in the chord’s display.

In the future, I’ll have this setup so that everything changes along with it.

B) Notice the Change in Note Value

Because the tool is currently in D Standard, it. changes the F9 chord to the Eb9 chord instead.

8) Look At the Chord Info Display for More Information

Take note of the chord information display, where you can see the title of the chord, its tones, a brief description, which scales go with it, and the notes

The chord information display changes its information every time you switch between notes or chord types. It does not change depending on the voicing.

In the future, the chord information display will have clickable scale links and links to similar chords.

9) Take Note Of Root Name and Chord Tone

Each chord features the note name, ie, E, as well as the chord tone, so the 9th for example.

In this example, we can see a diagram of the D Minor 9 chord, which features the chord tones 1, b3, 5, b7, 9, as well as the notes, D, F, A, C, and E.

Every chord voicing in the chord tool has this feature, that way you know exactly which notes are which, and how to target them with scales and other chords.
