A free, open source tool that suggests guitar chords based on your favorite songs, helping you learn new chords and play popular tunes

What is OpenChords?

OpenChords is a free, open source web application that helps guitar players learn chords by analyzing their favorite songs. It allows users to enter a list of songs, then uses data on commonly used chords to suggest chords the user should learn in order to play those songs.

After entering song titles, OpenChords cross-references a database of chord progressions and suggests chords that appear often in the user's song list. The suggestions aim to provide chords that will allow the user to play many of their favorite tunes. Users can also view the suggested chords in common chord progressions to better learn how to move between chords.

As an open source project, OpenChords' codebase is available on GitHub for developers to contribute to. It was created using React, Node.js, and other common web development tools. The focus is on providing an easy-to-use interface for guitar enthusiasts to improve their chord knowledge.

Overall, OpenChords combines crowd-sourced chord data with user song preferences to offer tailored chord suggestions for learning the guitar. The open source nature also allows the community to build on the project to further enhance the chord generator.
