A great non nonsense program - reminds me of the old days before software got stupidly large! I can only think of one extra feature I would have liked and that is some different colour schemes - apart from that it is perfect. Thanks for your efforts.

Look at jazz. Most jazz bands have a piano and guitarist. Who usually writes the music for the songs? The pianist usually writes the music, because he/she went through formally training. Guitar write music too, but I dare to find a guitarist and I've heard some of the most interesting rifts writing by guitarist that might hbe be able to done on a guitar. Then again a lot of piano riffts cannot be produced on a guitar because of the bass notes. You can also say that guitarist can have effects added to their songs to. I say look at synthesizers. Now my point is this: why not say both are equally as important. Pianist can help guitars by showing them therory and guitarist can show pianist how to improvise. http://www.guitarator.com/opinion/things-a-guitar-can-do-that-a-piano-cant/comment-page-1#comment-962 PaztimK Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:09:12 +0000 http://www.guitarator.com/?p=57#comment-962 Compairing the Guitar to the Pianio is sort of like comparing apples to oranges. But in my experience as a worship leader, most pianists are classically trained as solo instruments. They often find it hard to make the transition from solo classical to ensemble work where chord sheets and the versitilty of playing by ear on the fly are more pronounced. Pianists have also been trained to play the part of all the other instuments in the ensemble (espically the base line). Certainly this is not true of all keyboard players - I have worked with some phenominal keyboardists. But I have also worked with many who have been slaves to sheet music and tend to drive the song rather than follow the flow of the ensemble leader. http://www.guitarator.com/music-theory/pythagoras-and-me/comment-page-1#comment-943 Robert Dunn Sat, 02 Apr 2011 12:09:50 +0000 http://www.guitarator.com/music-theory/pythagoras-and-me#comment-943 Eddy, this is an absolutely awesome web site, and a fantastically usefull reference tool right here on my iPhone. Having used the free stuff for a while I can say that there's nothing else nearly as good as your web site anywhere else. I'm going to buy the full tool box. Thank you so much for enlightening my guitar world.

In this case it started as a piano work but got even more fame when it was arranged for guitar. I like 'em both. Just paid up for the toolbox by the way. I'm waiting for that piano toolbox now as I don't understand the relation between many piano chords and guitar chords. http://www.guitarator.com/scales/pentatonic-scales/comment-page-1#comment-930 Alfred Tue, 25 Jan 2011 19:30:46 +0000 http://www.guitarator.com/scales/pentatonic-scales#comment-930 Absolutely fantastic! I was able to understand (and play) the Am Pentatonic Scale first try... the lesson makes musical sense (music "theory" has always been intimdating to me). I'm a beginning blues enthusiast and I can already see how your lessons are going to help me leap instead of trudge my way through the music theory you simplify. Your site is too cool, and you can bet I'll be back! Wow, I still can't believe what I learned in a matter of minutes. http://www.guitarator.com/opinion/things-a-guitar-can-do-that-a-piano-cant/comment-page-1#comment-907 Daede Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:56:37 +0000 http://www.guitarator.com/?p=57#comment-907 Anybody who can read sheet music that tries to tell you they can't read tab is lying. http://www.guitarator.com/software/guitarator-available/comment-page-1#comment-900 admin Sun, 14 Nov 2010 18:04:57 +0000 http://www.guitarator.com/?p=44#comment-900 Hi Randy. Yes, you can click on any of the generated chord names, and that will take you to the Chorderator page, with your designed chord as the first entry. -Eddie http://www.guitarator.com/software/guitarator-available/comment-page-1#comment-899 Randy Sun, 14 Nov 2010 16:21:25 +0000 http://www.guitarator.com/?p=44#comment-899 Love the Toolbox. Question: I lay my Chorderator chords for a song out in a Word document for practice, but sometimes I use custom chords that have to be created in Chord Designer. Is there a way to save my custom chords in the Chorderator format so I can print them along with the others?

I'm really glad I did. Your web site is the best!
