Still using a Chord Dictionary book? That’s so 2006.
Inigma Media, the company that brought us ChordGenie, has come up with a neat product… chords on your cell phone. ChordGenie offers over 15,000 chords and chords can be found quickly and easily, whether in standard or alternate tuning, in any position on the fret board. Additional features include a Metronome, Pitch Pipe Tuner and an innovative Songbook feature, which allows users to bookmark chords against any song they are working on.
You can define your own chord types using the Chord Builder feature. The Chord Builder is also useful in an educational context in that users can see exactly what intervals are used in each chord.
It seems like a handy way to have access to chords and learn new ones if your phone is of the modern type. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll let everyone know after I’ve given it a run through. ChordGenie is priced at £4.99 GBP (approx $9.60) and can be downloaded over the air direct to your mobile phones or via your computer. A free trial is available. For more info, see their website, www.chordgenie.com.
