Chord Coach is a beginner-friendly chord practice app for learning common chord shapes, improving chord changes, and building steady timing.
Choose an instrument, view clear chord diagrams, set a tempo, and practise chord progressions with visual strumming cues. You can use built-in key-based practice sets or create your own custom chord series and strum patterns.

- Chord diagrams for beginner-friendly shapes
- Guitar, ukulele, baritone ukulele, and other fretted instrument views

- Practice mode for looping chord progressions
- Tempo control for slow, steady practice

This first release is best suited to tablets and larger phones.
Chord Coach was created by IT Stuff as a practical self-learning tool while learning ukulele and guitar. It is not a replacement for a professional music teacher, but it can help beginners practise more consistently and confidently.
