"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 fact that this program covers so many instruments in so many tunings makes it a must-have for any guitarist. I have never seen a resource that covers so completely the melodic and chordal options available to a guitarist, and that is a pretty good reason to own this software."
"[This] new product is a songwriter's dream ... there is really no further need for those bulky chord tomes, when you can simply access the chords you require at the click of a mouse."
"I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and your software is the best teaching and learning tool I've ever used."
J. Bollins
