GtrLib Chords Pro

The developer behind this clearly had a vision and a philosophy for this project. They chose to avoid bloating it with unnecessary features or menus. They chose to do one thing well, rather than many things adequately. This app is a phenomenal resource for any guitarist and is well worth the price.

As someone still learning the fretboard, my goal was to find an app just like this one so that I could explore multiple ways to express a given chord and choose one that is easiest to transition to from the preceding chord while also incorporating melody over the top. One enhancement to this app the developer might consider is a way to save named groupings (collections) so that users can cherry pick the chord flavors they plan to use for a given song without having to export each diagram separately.

This is one of my top 5 apps. Because I’m a music producer and I’m not the best guitar player, this really helps layout chord structure of for your guitar. However, I wish it was also categorized by major/ minor scales. Unless guitars don’t have the option to do that like pianos.
