The Web Chordmaster / Scalemaster for Guitar

We wrote a cool guitar chord and scale program for Planet Waves (D'Addario & Co.) that lets you explore 7800+ chords and 1500+ scales, and play progressions of chords and scales together! This Java application has the smarts to suggest chords that work with scales, and scales that work with chords you choose from the database or create yourself. The chords and scales were selected by two world-class jazz guitarists. The program plays the chords and scales using the MIDI capabilities of your PC or Mac. And it's free!

Read The Constitution! Then think about it.
