Topic: web page
hi gurus,
I'm fond of the guitar. I have created this page http://www.ichordview.net and need your opinion
Thank's in advance
Re: web page
Hey Jlv and welcome to Chordie! 
Excellent if you have a chord name and want to find the fingering or alternatives.
What I would be more likely to use is something that can take the left hand experimenting I do and input the fingering to give me a chord name that will work with ChoPro here!
Don't be put off! This is an excellent tool that many will want to use!

Re: web page
hi jlv
good tool.
Now you want my opinion,.lol
When it shows not to play a string i.e not to play the E string it is shown as a red cross on the tuning peg. This is not very obvious to see.
Also I think after you choose your root it should remember it for if you have made a mistake and want to try again in the same root.
other than that I think this is good for anyone that wants to learn more chords.
Oh wait, just thought of another useful thing it could have.
If someone can click on the fret on the guitar for where fingers go and it shows what the chord is.

KajiMa, thank's. My idea is to create a simple and complete tool. Very good idea of the left hand.
Thank's for your collaboration

Where you would put it?

Interesting...

It is the idea, because I am not musical

I will think it, but I do not have so many knowledge.
Thank's very much

Re: web page
well instead of it being on the tuning peg, just have a cross over the string.
just like in tab

so have the circles where your fingers go on a fret and a cross on the first fret if the string does not get played?
Just a thought.

Might you mean this http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chord_name.php ?
I'm always chasing notes in a melody and trying to fit chords to it. I usually get to the chord by experimenting. It can lead you to some outlandish, but beautiful harmonies.
In this you can fret the notes of the chord and it will come up with the name - or multiple names.

StranSongs, your opinion about the page?
Thank's
Re: web page
The page is much less interesting than Kaj's point about inputing the fingering.
But, as you asked.
1. With smaller screen resolutions, you have to scroll to see the guitar - so the pic is too big or not scaleable. But you need to balance size and legibility. Also the interactive elements are spaced too far apart.
2. The text is indistinct.
3. There is an assumed level of music theory required to know how to find a chord that will be too high for many beginners.
4. You have a relatively small number of variations.
5. The content is widely available elsewhere.
If this is a student piece, then it's good, particularly the animation. It is just too hard to use.

The constructive critiques are grateful.
I will try to improve the content basing on your suggestions
