Chord Tester

#1

Have any of you guys struggled with finding a right chord? Well my idea might just solve this!

There can be some sort of a diagram (a fretboard/keyboard, etc) to let us test the notes first. I know the space works in a sense but it’s pretty difficult. and if the note/chord is to our liking, we can hit an enter button to put it on the music staff (it’ll ask for which octave and such).

Anyhow, what do you guys think? Would it be useful or usless?
Anyway, you decide! (hlisten)

I think that would be a lot of work for Starburst. I recommend you take a music theory class or learn music theory somewhere. That way, you would already have an idea of what chord to choose.
Also, did you know you can test single notes by hovering an instrument over the staff and pressing the spacebar?

#3

maybe a separate url for peeps who cant do that (I have)

#4

It’s a great idea,but I think you should be able to hold shift and multi-select the chord (even if different layers you can switch) by clicking the notes in the chord and test it.Though Jman is right.Might be a little much on Starburst’s side.Great idea though! (rock)

Here is a cool tool I found that will show you what notes are in which chords:
Virtual Piano Chords

If you don’t know how to read piano keys:

#6

Maybe try doing it the old fashioned way and test the chord by yourself.

#7

What do you mean? If someone wants to make an E minor chord, how do they know what notes make the Em sound?

Agreed.

That still doesn’t display letters, it just shows how to play the chords on guitar. Only people who play guitar would find a use with that and it still won’t help them with notessimo unless they know the positions of all of the letters on the fretboard.

Look at the top right of the screen… it shows what note is being played on which string. (The letters I mean)

#12

Oops. I didn’t see that at first. (rock) Sorry

#13

I’m just going to make the assumption that is someone doesn’t know what notes make the Em chord…they probably don’t even know an Em chord exists…just a guess anyway

#14

What if they are reading lyrics that have the chord symbols above them and want to know how to make those chords?

#15

hmmm…that’s true…not a bad idea then, of course I would just google it…
