Circle o Fifths: Guitar+Piano

In the progressions tab an Emaj chord as it sounds on the app is played as a G# chord in standard tuning on guitar and a Bmaj chord as it sounds on the app is played as a D# chord on guitar in standard tuning. Other chords may also be set to higher pitches. However, The piano chords in the progressions tab are the right pitch to play along with on a guitar in standard tuning. Overall I think you are developing the app in good ways. simplicity is genius as they say as well as efficient!

Like another review, there was no sound initially, but it started working after I tapped something or it need a little time connect the audio driver, but it started working. My request is to add PARTS (A,B,C,etc.) to the Progressions tab, with loop counters, so we can construct whole songs. Then it would be incredible as a songwriting tool and composition theory machine. General MIDI support would also be nice. The ability to select external MIDI devices for rhythm and tones would also be useful! I’m saving a star for those features. That all said, the price~performance ratio is superb. Buy it!

There’s a book called ‘The Chord Wheel’ published by Hal Leonard that illustrates the same concept as this app. While it’s a good book to have on hand it has one important deficiency: it doesn’t show any fingerings or even the notes for the particular chords. For someone who isn’t very familiar with music theory, this can make it difficult to use the book properly, potentially requiring lots of cross referencing, googling, and general research into theory. This app solves that problem by presenting the circle of fifths/chord wheel side by side with sample fingerings for each chord. Simple, effective, and useful. Well worth the trivial cost of the app. Thanks to the developer for making this one.
