There’s also this site
http://chordfind.com/
which I thoroughly enjoy the help of once in a while.
Not the same thing, just… helpful guitar stuff 😀
Oh, and it does have a reverse chord finder on it too.
The first chord finder is better… this one couldn’t tell me that 323030 is a G13, whereas the other one could.
But I dig the jam loops. 🙂
Chordbook.com? I used that a while ago but your post reminded me of the bookmark sitting somewhere hidden in my list. 🙂
Oh… I just about never need to look up a chord to know how to play it. I have three chord books laying around the house, and I haven’t opened one up in ages.
Instead, what I often need is something that gives me good names for the weirdo chords I am playing. 🙂 I am in the process of sorting through all the 100+ keeper songs I have written, and trying to make sure that everything about them is captured — because I have had many pieces that I have forgotten how to play. And on some of them, I just had to resort to writing down the fingerings, because I didn’t know a good name to call the chord. So this is handy. Makes it look more legit. 😉
New chords are dangerous territory for me. When I use them, I’m either moving between the chords quickly or playing around the notes individually (I rarely strum). So when I learn a new chord, it means I’m making songs I can hardly play for weeks. Still, I don’t like it when my progressions are predictable.
Aaron, I gotta tell you that the way I improved was by constantly tackling songs with new chords in them. 🙂
I also highly recommend alternate tunings. You end up knowing NO chords, which forces you to instead learn about the relationships between the strings, and keeps your muscle memory from getting too locked in.
I play most of the time with the low string dropped down to a D. Any alternate tuning more complicated than that would mean I couldn’t move quickly between songs. It would still be interesting and probably educational, like you said, but it’s not something I’d want to get in a habit of. Few things irritate fans more than having to listen to you tune.
I have a strong memory for styles of music, so the main way I push myself is by listening to a new style and then trying to mimick it. The fun thing about that is I end up combining and meshing styles frequently.
Truth is, since I got back into college, most of my guitar time is spent going over old stuff, rather than exploring new territory. It’s a lot of fun pushing yourself though.
Chord theory is a gigantic hole in my music theory. I’ve always played monaural instruments. (Okay, bass isn’t monaural, but most folks don’t play chords on the bass.) So, I never really learned much about chords. I have a good intuition for them when I’m composing, and can improvise vocal harmony over almost anything, but I couldn’t tell you what chords I’m creating.
With rare exceptions, I seem to compose mostly in minor keys, going all the way back to the “Lullaby for a Kitten” I wrote when I was 7. (Yes, I just admitted to writing a lullaby for a kitten. I was actually a little girl once. I had tea parties with my dollies, and everything.) I wonder if that makes me the musical equivalent of a lugubrious teenage poet (or “emo kid” in the modern parlance).
It only does 3 finger placements?
I can’t read, or do I know the “cords”, but I do play by ear, and dabble a little, but this seems to only do 3 finger placements. Am I mistaken?
Hmm, I just tried one that stops all six strings, with no issues.
You have to click above the strings to get the open strings.
Ah cool… i see that now, not sure what i was thinking..was a DUH moment.
