With Chord Detector you can learn to play any track in your devices music library or Dropbox folder providing its not DRM encoded.
Chord Detector can also analyse and detect the chords within a YouTube video or a SoundCloud sound.
Chord Detector is aimed at musicians of any ability to help you learn to play many more songs, especially those whose chords aren't readily available on the internet.
With our update Chord Detection engine its now much quiker and easier to get most accurate results possible (up to 95% in ideal conditions). Chord Detector can recognise many different chord types including major, minor, augmented, dimimished, diminished7, dominant7 and minorMajor7.
To get started just pick one of the four audio source options:
● iPod Music Library
● Dropbox
● YouTube
● SoundCloud
You can then select any track from your iPod Music Library(†), Dropbox folder, select a YouTube video or a SoundCloud sound. Chord Detector will then analyse the selected music source and within minutes (if not quicker) you will be presented with a view of the detected chords containing within that music source.
You have the option to view the detected chords in two different forms, scrolling and tabular. In both of these views you are able to play the track and the chords will move or be highlighted as the song is playing.
You can now start to view the chords of a track when analysis is still ongoing. Also you can queue up tracks to be processed, so while you are learning to play one song the chords are being generated for your other tracks in the background.
The following controls are available on the chord view screens:-
● Play/Pause - play or pause the track.
● Rewind 30s - rewind the track by 30 seconds.
● Forward 30s - forward the track by 30 seconds.
● Tempo Adj. - slow down the track without affecting the pitch by a variable amount down to 1/4 of its original speed.
● Capo Adj. - transpose the chords according to which fret you want your capo on
Now ukulele, banjo and mandolin chord diagrams are available via an in-app purchase.
† The following audio file formats are supported, MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF. DRM protected content is not supported. Tracks must by sync'd to your device. If you use iTunes Match you must ensure that the track you wish to use in Chord Detector is first downloaded to your device (otherwise you may see a DRM warning)

Too Basic to be useful for serious transcription
MontereyJacques
I am a working professional jazz musician who has experience transcribing songs. I bought this app out of curiosity, just to see how accurate it is. I selected a basic three chord 1-4-5 blues progression in Am. It detected the basic chords mostly correctly, but failed 100% of the time if any coloration was added. It will detect an Am played in the first position, but will not detect an Am6 played in the 5th. It will detect a first position Dm, but will transcribe a 10th position Dm6 as a first position Dm. For dominant 7 chords, it transcribed them as 1st position major. Verdict: may be useful for beginning players trying to learn very basic, first position folk songs; useless for serious transcription because it does not accurately detect chord extensions, slash chords or chords above the 3rd position.
Very very good

Dorodigital
Well done ...I was so impressed with this app...I decided to take some time and add my review...I admit I was skeptical at first because may apps confess that they cay listen to a song and pull out the chords but few are up to the task...I tested it on a few of my songs on my ipad and it was accurate most of the time....for a chords beginner like me it vas very helpful it not only pulls out the chords but displays it on the screen in time with the playback so u can play along with the track....I'm very satisfied with this product so far ..good job guys please continue updating and tweaking to perfection
Works but can't install chord pack
Librainian
The basic function works but I have been unable to make an in app purchase of the additional Ike chord pack. I tried several times and even contacted the developer via their web form but have got no response. It's a shame they can't be bothered to assist an existing customer buy more functionality.
Good product

Everything was working perfectly until I downloaded the update. Now instead of chords I get an empty screen while the song is playing.

Won't load a single song to chart chords

No matter what the source is, no song is completed. Wifi or hard wired to Internet makes no difference. Have been trying for last 5 hours. No success.
