Chords App Lets You Learn Guitar on Google Glass - Glass Almanac

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 09:56 AM PDT

Several new apps have been added to the Glassware directory over the past few days, one of which aims to help the budding guitar hero in all of us.

It's called Chords, and it's the work of a solo developer named Tejas Lagvankar.

Chords isn't a full-fledged music instruction app; instead, it gives quick access to all of the major and minor chords and presents them both visually and aurally so you can see and hear each one.

The app can work via voice commands ("OK Glass, learn an instrument" and then speak the name of a chord) or the touchpad, where you can browse through all the chords and pick whichever you want. You'll want to use at least the mono earbud with this app, and the stereo earbuds would be even better, I'm sure.

I don't have a guitar here at Casa McGee, and I'm not a musician by any means, but I do love music and enjoyed just playing with the app briefly to hear what different chords sound like.

Chords only supports guitar at the moment, but Lagvankar says additional instruments will be added in future app updates. He also says singers can use the app as a pitch finder since it plays the sound of each chord.

Incorporating Suspended Chords into Metal Rhythm ... - Guitar World

These videos and audio files are bonus content related to the November 2014 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now or at the Guitar World Online Store.

One of the coolest things about contemporary metal is that its harmonic palette is wide open. It's not uncommon for a great metal riff to jump back and forth from one type of harmonic environment to another, such as from the natural minor scale to the Phrygian mode to the Mixolydian mode to the blues scale.

Countless examples abound in the music of such great bands as Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, At the Gates, In Flames and others.

This month, I'd like to demonstrate a few different examples of rhythm-guitar ideas that jump around harmonically and also feature the incorporation of suspended chords, namely sus2 and sus4 chords.

Hi,

Others will probably be able to give you more / better info - but as non-guitar player I've found Guitarism really easy to 'play'. As well as picking, it lets you strum chords yourself (playing it's own sounds or sending external midi). This is a guitar led track I made with it (actually here it's sending midi to a guitar patch in Gadget):

You could audiobus Guitarism into Cubasis. It's a very solid app and the developer is extremely helpful if you email him.

There's also the iFretless Guitar range that people seem to rate (but I never got on with). Or you could look into one of the Sessionband apps (where I think they pre-sample hundreds of chords on different instruments) - although not sure there's a Bosa Nova version... yet!
