Also to apply the strum that I am concentrating on to get the chord right with. I will go look around for this tool. But I am not so sure you have it. It would be nice. Otherwise I will have to listen to the song closely to find the chord I need. It will be a lot of trial and error.


I'm branching out into different music genres and starting to use more advance chords other the maj, 7th, minor, etc. There are many tools on the WEB that are helpful to try different chords in addition to the Chord Finder in BiaB, for example http://www.sengpielaudio.com/ChordNameFinder.htm.

I personally use an iPad app called ChordLab. It's $5.99 and well worth it. It works by inputting 3 to 4 individual notes then it will tell you the chord name. (would you recognize a G#9sus4?) You can also enter a Chord name and it will give you the notes either on a Piano Keyboard or Guitar.

Hope this is helpful.
