About Chordify

Shows the chords of a song in time with the audio, with transpose and tempo tools for practice.

Chordify listens to a song and shows its chords on a timeline that moves with the music. You can play along on guitar, ukulele or piano, see the chord shapes, transpose the song to another key or set a capo position, and slow the tempo down while you learn the changes.

It is handy for a cover band learning a set list quickly, or for a songwriter checking what is happening under a melody they like. The chords are detected by software, so they are a strong first draft, and the more unusual the harmony the more you should trust your own ears. It works on the web and as a mobile app. For full notation or individual notes, pair it with a transcription tool from this category.
