    How to Use the Virtual Guitar

    Click or tap a fret to play a note and select it for strumming. Choose from common guitar chords or create your own fingerings by selecting different frets on each string.

    You can also change the guitar tuning, adjust the volume, and experiment with different instrument sounds.

    Practice Guitar Chords and Notes

    Use the built-in chord library to explore major, minor, and seventh chords.

    The interactive fretboard displays note names, helping you learn where pitches appear on the guitar and how different chord shapes are constructed.

    Virtual Guitar for Singers and Songwriters

    Singers can use the virtual guitar to explore accompaniment ideas, find starting pitches, and practice singing along with chords.

    Songwriters can experiment with chord progressions and melodic ideas before recording a song or working with a guitarist.

    Explore Alternate Guitar Tunings

    Switch between standard tuning, Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, Open D, and half-step-down tuning to explore different sounds and note relationships.

    Alternate tunings can inspire new chord voicings, melodies, and songwriting approaches.

    Record Your Guitar Ideas

    The built-in recording feature captures the notes you play so you can listen back to short melodies, riffs, and strumming ideas.

    You can also copy your note sequence for reference during practice or songwriting.

    Tip: Start with a simple chord progression such as G–D–Em–C, then experiment with different strumming patterns while singing a melody over the chords. This can help you develop accompaniment ideas for your own songs.
