Welcome to the documentation page of an interactive guitar tool app created by Koh Yi Da and Wong Liang Hsi!

What is Geetar.io?

       Geetar.io is a simple interactive chord library/tuner application to aid YOU in your learning journey on the guitar, all hosted on OpenProcessing and accessible just from your web browser!

How do I use Geetar.io?

It's simple!
       -First, search for a chord in the 'Search for a chord!' input box eg. 'Cmaj7' (without the inverted commas).
       -Click on 'Search!' to look up that chord in our in-built library.
       -Click 'Strum again!' to strum the guitar again. Click 'Strum down!' to strum the guitar in reverse.

What do the dots, circles and crosses mean?

       -In Geetar.io, we use black dots to indicate the frets that you must press to sound the same chord.
       -The circles indicate the strings that are to be left open, but still played.
       -The black cross indicate the strings that must not be played OR fretted.

Can I make my own Chords?

       -Under the 'Create' section, you can manually define your own chords and your own name for these chords. Each box is labelled with a respective letter to represent the string that your choice of frets (or muted/open strings) will reflect on.
       -Once you have decided on your custom frets, choose a name, but don't name it something that has already been defined! Click 'Create' for this chord to be stored in our library.

       -Congratulations! You can now use the name you defined to call this chord again.

How can I tune my guitar?

Open String Buttons

       -On the right hand side of the screen, there are 6 buttons that correspond to the open strings of the guitar. Click on these buttons to sound the open strings!

       -*psst* There exist shortcuts to trigger the open strings. Try pressing buttons 'SHIFT + 1' to 'SHIFT + 6'

Why use Geetar.io?

      -Geetar.io is created to complement the learning process by allowing a player to easily access and learn from a large library of chords. Our audio playback capability allows the user to experiment with different kinds of chords and chord voicings, as well as to provide real-time audio auralization of these chords.

Lets see it in action!

      -A video tutorial for Geetar.io is provided to showcase the functionality of our program. Check it out: Geetar.io Short Demo! on Youtube

What was the process behind creating Geetar.io?

      -Check out my other post titled "GET1033 Final Project Reflection" for a detailed guide and explanation of the creation process as to how this programme was coded and designed!
