The music aspect of the application is praised for its utility as a reference tool for guitarists and aspiring musicians, aiding in chord identification and song creation. However, it falls short in providing comprehensive music theory education, lacking detailed explanations and advanced chord variations, which may lead to confusion for self-taught learners. Overall, while it serves as a helpful visual aid and brainstorming resource, its limitations in music theory could hinder deeper understanding for some users.
- “This is a very good tool to have when learning music, specifically on guitar.”
- “First day using it, I already wrote a very tight song using the program as a reference and brainstorming source.”
- “This is an awesome visual aid application to figure out many things in music theory.”
- “If you're looking to understand music theory better, this falls decidedly short.”
- “In fact, while it contains knowledge of most basic chords, there are a corpus of chords missing, with little to no ability to create variations (i.e. a c sus2 delta #13), and moreover contains no fundamental music theory training; there's not even an explanation for chord structures, and you would be more likely to absorb knowledge from a music theory book via the process of osmosis.”
- “I just feel it is very limited to what can be self-taught without the aid of a teacher, and in today's do-it-yourself mentality, this would create a whole plethora of confused and frustrated musicians.”
