Yeah, not sure I would see a use in that to be honest. Tapping chord shapes on a screen is probably a very tricky business.

You mean programming wise?
I think the trickiest part would be the theory analysis of the notes which have been input.

No, I mean actually using that feature. I would rather just work out the chords on my guitar. I am not really a fan of virtual guitars.

I think you misunderstood what I meant.
You can tap in random "dots" as a beginner, and it will tell you what chord it is and all the positions you could play it at. at one glance

^ The app will be $4.99 when it is released.

The other price is for a subscription website.

I've seen this not only in iPhone apps but also online, don't have any reference though... sorry.

App is now on Google Play.

I don't think it is live yet though, will you let know when it is.

Guitar Toolkit already does this. It also gives you multiple names for a chord.

OT: I'm looking forward to the Apple release. I can't wait!

In that demo, is there supposed to be sound when you hit play on the exercises? I hear nothin' but silence.

Yeah there is, my nephew was next to me making loads of noise.

So I just muted the entire thing.

There is sound, every exercise is played with a drum beat and MIDI guitar.

It isn't the best sound in the world, but it isn't about the sound.

The MIDI files don't don't sound too bad actually. Especially the Licks and Riffs exercises.
