Choosing the right chord, and the right voicing for that chord, can transform a song. Whether you are a beginner, worried about stretching your fingers to the right frets, or a professional musician looking for just the right sound, ChordMate will find the chord voicing that is right for you.

Just select the chord you want, and ChordMate will list all of the possible voicings, sorted either by quality, ease of play, or a bit of both. The results are customized based on the type of guitar: classical, acoustic, jazz, or electric. You can even listen to how the chord would sound on your guitar!

Music Engine
ChordMate uses an advanced, lightning-fast music engine for finding chords. The engine considers every possibility and uses a sophisticated algorithm to remove chords that sound bad or are impossible to play. The chord voicings that the engine constructs always contain the chord key-notes, so that every voicing has the distinct sound specific to that chord.

Diagrams and Sounds
ChordMate displays the results of your search as a collection of beautiful diagrams. Click on each one to play the chord on a virtual guitar. You are able to listen as the strings are strummed all at once, one by one in an arpeggio, or both.
