See chords, scales, notes, and tunings in a different way.

Chord Visualizer
See the notes behind the chord
Instead of just looking at a chord diagram, see how its notes are spread across the fretboard.
Explore different chord shapes and positions, and start to see the patterns that connect them.
Sometimes seeing the pattern makes it easier to understand.
Tuning Experimentation
What happens when you change the tuning?
Alternate tunings can make a familiar instrument feel completely different.
Chord Muse lets you experiment with different tunings and see how chords, scales, and notes move across the fretboard.
Try something familiar. Try something strange. See what happens.
Why an Alternate Tuning?
A different tuning can change everything
Changing the tuning changes the relationship between the strings, which can open up possibilities that aren't as obvious in standard tuning.
- Different chord shapes: Find voicings that aren't easy to play in standard tuning.
- Different sounds: Some tunings naturally emphasize certain notes and chords.
- Different ways to play: Tunings such as Open G and DADGAD have become part of the vocabulary of styles like blues, folk, and slide guitar.
- A different way of thinking: Sometimes changing the tuning is enough to break out of a familiar pattern and find a new idea.
