Product Description:

Tired of flipping through chord books? Looking to spice up your music with some new chord voicings? It's time to try ChordMate, the digital chord book.

  • Choose from the chords that matter. Printed chord books don't have all possible chords. Digital chord books generate too many. We give you only the chords that you may want to play and discard everything else.
  • Organize chords by their musical quality, ease of play, or fret. In most cases your perfect chord will be one of the first that we show.
  • Evaluate each chord on your computer before trying it on your guitar.
  • Limit results to only the voicings you want: chord inversions, specific part of the fretboard, etc.
  • Go beyond EADGBE. Explore alternate tunings to find your unique sound.

What's new in this version:

  • added built-in support for the following chord types: 7#5, 7b9, 7#9, 7#11, 7b13
  • expanded the range of alternate tunings. Now each string can be tuned an octave lower or higher

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

ChordMate CommentaryChordMate vs. other guitar software (a response to a negative comment below) - Version: 1.2, 3/23/2008 10:15PM PST

Harmonic Sense Team (Harmonic Sense LLC)
ChordMate helps you find the right chords for your music. The right chord voicings can transform a song, and ChordMate can help you find them. It won't help with learning to play them or with writing down and recording your song, but it can be very helpful for constructing beautiful and original chord progressions and creating your own arrangements. You can also use it to find new chords, build your own chord charts, or annotate your favorite songs with our chord diagrams.

ChordMate is available in three versions: Express ($15), Standard ($30) , and Pro ($40).

ChordMate CommentaryIn search of the lost ChordMate - two thumbs up! - Version: 1.1.4, 2/21/2008 12:00AM PST

Hello -

I recently found this software by "Google accident" (searching for something completely unrelated). I am just a regular person who like to fool around on an acoustic guitar. I am a professional outdoor educator based in Canada, and I take my MacBookPro with me everywhere I go do to the nature of my business (pardon the pun), and I do a lot of 3-season camping. I get my inspiration to create when surrounded by nature - this software, with all its chord manifestations available at a touch, with sound in several styles and guitar types, is going to smooth the creative process a lot. Oh, and to those who would scoff at taking high technology into the woods, I say each to their own!

As I am a hobbyist player, all I need for now was the ChordMate Express. I would not know what to do with the more advanced ChordMate versions. May I say that ChordMate Express does all it is promoted to do, and does it very well.

To be completely honest, I must mention that I did have a small installation issue and it was handled swiftly and with concern by "Ilya", who may be the(one of the) creator(s) of ChordMate??

Cheers,
sabrinus

ChordMate ReviewThere are much better choices out there - Version: 1.1.4, 2/21/2008 12:00AM PST

Taught guitat for ten years, played for decades.

If you're looking for a program that can really help you improve your guitar playing, check out "Guitar Shed". Do a versiontracker search for the link.

It's a hundred times better than this app. Guitar Shed has a chord catalog, but it ALSO has a song "slow-down" capability, play-along tools, metronome, tuner with many options, rhythm tracks, musicians organizer and much, much more. On top of all that, a license costs only $18.00.


Can anyone tell me how in the world ChordMate can be worth $30.00?. I can't see it! It *might* be worth 5 to 8 dollars, if that.
