The clearly laid out display (see the description of the ARM version of Chordster here on Handango to see some screen shots from the iPAQ version) shows part of a guitar fretboard. The chord is drawn on the fretboard showing where the guitarists fingers are placed to play the chord. Using the audio capabilities of the Pocket PC, Chordster is able to generate and play any of the strings that make up the chord and even play the entire chord!

Features include:

• Display of the fingering positions on the virtual fretboard
• A 4068 chord database
• 15 common chord styles
• Right-handed and left-handed guitars supported
• Optional colour guitar neck can be enabled complete with fret markers
• Guitar fingering can be drawn in normal or inverse video styles
• Built-in help
• Note names displayed at the bottom of each string that is played in a chord
• Sophisticated screen display shows fingers, frets, strings, deadened strings and barred strings
• Legend screen showing the available display symbols and what they mean
• Audio playing of any of the strings in a chord - or even the entire chord
• Tuning Mode to tune your guitar
• All facilities combined into a single small, efficient executable

Chordster has been written for the Pocket PC running version 3.0 of Windows CE. Versions are available targeted to ARM, MIPS and SH3 processors. A desktop version will shortly be available.

Written by musicians, this program is an excellent addition to any guitarist's software collection.
