Well, the kind of music I am generally involved with, and I think I can safely say that Eddie is in the same camp here, does not come out all that pretty when shoved through *any* of these chord identifying schemes, and that is inclusive of PGMusic's ACW.

Walking Bass lines, extensions on chords, anticipated playing styles, or playing behind the beat, all that and more just confuses these chord identifying algos.

I do use the ACW to get the layout from a song quickly when setting up a song in BiaB, but what it sends to the Chord Grid quite often needs to be re-entered manually in order to get what the chords really are.

These things work okay with simple chords, simpler songs and rather simple straight accompaniment, for the most part.

But guys like Eddie and me don't need the machine to ID those simple a chords, we both could likely play along with that kind of song on the first run through we hear it anyway.
