New Chord Search engine: searchbychords.com (Page 1 of 2)

HI gw1976 just wanted too welcome you too the forum. F and B are the chords most of us have had trouble with, they are not user friendly so you are not alone.

There was some uncertainty amongt us as to whether this post was acceptable and I temporarily moved it into the Moderator's section whilst awaiting a decision from the site owner.

Happily our doubts were unfounded and so I have moved the post back.

Enjoy.

Roger

that was amazing. I`m very chordally challenged myself.I will get use out of it.

Chordie decoder ring? What's that?

A joke?

its  a great idea for a site

I like to practice my scales to songs in a certain key (C, G, D,A and E). However I get bored of the same songs.  I expect if I look for the right chords I'll be able to find songs in the key I want

Dang, I thought those decoder rings was for real - went out and bought a case of cracker-jacks, thinking I might find a ring in one.

GW:

First, welcome to the forum.  This is likely the BEST first post anyone other than Admin has ever entered on this forum.  Just guessing.

Second, This is an EXCELLENT piece of work.  Thanks so much for sharing it with us.  We have MANY more forum lurkers than forum posters, so I'd venture to guess this will help thousands of people who see it and save it, even if they don't acknowledge or thank you for it.

Third, a question:  when you enter chords into the search bar, do you need to put spaces after the commas, or does it matter?

Once again, well done, and thanks!

PS:  Chordians - if you haven't noticed yet, another cool feature about this is that if you enter an invalid chord, you get a little pop-up bubble that tells you it is invalid before you actually hit the search button.  I found this by accident when I inadvertently deleted the space and the comma between two of the chords.  It told me that "GEm" is invalid.  pretty slick!

Doesn't really matter. Spaces and komma's will both work.

On Roger's suggestion - I have created a sticky in the "song requests" section with a link to this site so you can find it again easier down the road.  Great resource! 

My question is how does this help them if the only chords they know how to play does not fit their voice range or the voice of the person with them who is doing the singing? I agree it is great to be able to call up a song that is in the key of (place key here) and to be able to play it. Gives you a feeling of accomplishment. I think that if one learns SEVERAL simple basic progressions (leave out the key of B or F and any of the flat keys) a whole different world then opens up for you. Then learn how to transpose a song to a different key or the proper use of a capo and you can open up the universe. This tool (search by chords) is a well thought out item but don't limit your learning of playing by depending on this as the answer to you becoming a GUItar GOD.

A lot of people just want to play, or play along with a backing trackor be able to bash out some some tunes whiles drinking some beers. 

How do you all think I found this place?  Its only been the last year or so that I have been fourm active,, but I have pinched  a buttload of songs to jam too, mostly  by myself or one other person.
