Guitar Chord Plus(GCP) is design for the beginning guitarist. It introduces 60 chords frequently used in many styles of music. The chords are in the major, minor and dominant 7th types in a basic position. The "Plus" side in GCP is the Save list and Auto practice mode.The Save list saves the chords(8 at a time) found to a list for retrievel at random or in sequence in auto-mode.This avoids having to look for chord(s) found earlier. In Auto-mode, the chords saved are displayed sequencially at fast or slow rates(1 to 4 secs). The Practice timer keeps track of your practice time--5 to 30 mins.

To view chords manually at random:

1.Select a key from the Popup list (A,Bb/A#,B,C.....)

2.Select the Chord type from the Popup list(Major,minor or Dominant 7th)

This will display the AMj triad.

Points to keep in mind while using GCP:

1.Check out all the chords available in GCP and get a general feel for them.These types of chords can be found in all types of music. Mastering the finger position and name for all these chords will give an edge for developing your chord vocabulary.

2.Many music lesson books start with the chords used in GCP, use GCP in auto-mode to save and follow the sequences presented in these books.

3. Most importantly, try your own ideas with GCP and discover ways to improve your chord knowledge. E-mail me and let me know how it goes-- Microapps@att.net
