Thanks Matt, I took "the plunge" and installed Chord AI from the play store, played my song and put my phone near my JBL monitors and it started capturing the chords immediately. It's not perfect, especially the audio on playback but I'm impressed, especially when you think about what it's being asked to do with bleed-overs, harmonics and errors in my and my friend's playing. Here is rough evaluation of it's performance. The 1st chord is what I entered into BiaB(and what my friend and I played along with) and the chords after the colon are what Chord AI delivered.

Dm11: Dm7, Dm
G7sus4: C, Cmaj7, Gsus4, G7, G, Cmaj7
Cmaj7: C, Cmaj7
Fmaj7: Fmaj7
Bbmaj7: Bbmaj7, Bb
E7: E7, Eaug, E
Am9: Cmaj7, Am7, Am,
Am9(Outro): Am, Dsus2, Am7, C, Gsus4

It looks like it captured the Fmaj7 chord perfectly and did the worst on the Gsus4 and Am9 in the outro.
Overall, I think this tool will meet my needs and given another 3 years of development it should be better yet.

It's true, we have supercomputers in our pockets smile

Thanks again.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
