2:App to PRACTICE Chords in Songs (Chordify)

Chordify chord estimator and generator

I have Chordify premium for a few reasons such as transposition and changing the tempo. Since I am a late starter guitarist with an attention problem when it comes to playing songs, well blogging can give you lots of distractions, as you are always looking for more information especially when it comes to something like technicalities and terms of guitar music.

One struggle I have before I play I just want to know what key a song is in? So I am not looking up chord diagrams and can just play the basics of it on guitar before I start playing.

Chordify lets you quickly find the chords to any streamable audio or video and Jam along with Chordify app or on the website.

Although the chords are not exactly correct all of the time on Chordify it gives you a general idea of the progressions used. You can also use Chordify on your desktop as it
