The display could be a floor mounted stage prompter or a standard PC display that could be mounted on the wall.

Chord detection technology is already available. And as processors continue to evolve, the time to accomplish the chord detect would get smaller and smaller until the point where little if any buffering would be needed.

Ideally, this would be built directly into the smart TV itself or, the streaming platform (Pandora) would perform this operation upstream precluding the need for any electronic box or additional display.

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.
