Fretcetera is musical calculator that uses algorithms to connect you to chords, scales and progressions on a variety of string instruments in any tuning! This is not just a chord book. Fretcetera computes every way to play chords or scales in any tuning, and returns the top results based on their playability. Fine-tune results by configuring your instrument exactly as you play it. Enter personal preferences and constraints. Select from common tunings or create your own! Build progressions to listen to chord transitions, and even get suggestions based on the chords you are playing!

    Needs to add tuning
    This app is nice for a reference, even though you could just look at a book, but needs a built-in-tuner to have any value or use for a guitarist

    [Updated Review!] Needs Left-Handed Option
    This program is great! I had only rated it three stars due to no option for left-handed, but they’ve integrated that feature and now I love this program. I’m also noticing it has a chord progression builder feature as well, which is great. One more suggestion: the chord progression feature is almost great, but only decent right now. What would improve it is if you had a bit of an easier time choosing / auditioning chords to build your progression with. Right now there are just a bit too many steps in selecting your chords — and if a person has no knowledge of theory, it would be difficult for them to create meaningful/appropriate chord progressions without knowing exactly what chords they should try. It would be nice to maybe see a list of suggested chords (algorithm based around theory stuff according to circle of fifths, etc?) or perhaps a visual representation you can click on to hear and audition rather than needing to jump to a fresh screen and a pulldown menu. Just something like that. There are a bunch of chord progression generator apps that do this pretty well, but most of those apps are lacking in other ways. I’d love to see something like that with this. I only have a basic understanding of theory and I’m not really sure what chords would sound good after each other, so I find myself randomly choosing chords from the drop down, waiting to get back to main area, and then playing the progression to hear it and it just takes a little too long to be worth it. If you could speed up the process somehow, especially if it were more visually represented besides a drop-down, it might be way better. Great program! Show more

    Nothing else like this.
    This app is very simple/easy to use. I've always enjoyed the idea of playing and writing in alternate tuning but have always been put off by how long it takes me to figure out chords in those tunings... well this makes it incredibly easy and instantaneous. You can even use custom tunings. The best part is that this is completely free. Show more

    Neat little app!
    A cool idea for the devs: maybe add a feature that adds a capo as a variable. So "G Chord, capo on 3rd fret" brings back the root: "A# chord" or vice-versa to quickly transpose arrangements to play with a capo on higher frets Show more
