"As a student of guitar and piano, your program is something that will really help my understanding of chord theory."
A. Chan
"Chords from here to China! Goodness, I never suspected the Bouzouki could have that many chords. This is terrific. This ChordWizard is a giant."
G. Doss
"ChordWizard is the best program I have EVER seen. It has replaced the collection of 'chord finder' books I have - and it has supplemented all the books I have on music theory. This package is phenomenal."
R. Miller
"The support for this program is as fantastic as the program itself."
R. Groner
"Clearly and professionally presented ... particularly useful for students learning the art of composing."

Chord Types
ChordWizard Gold 2.0 is supplied with a comprehensive set of chord types, covering all musical styles and playing levels.
