Guitar chord detector
for your recording.
Upload an isolated guitar recording to estimate when its chords change. Review the timed labels, download a readable guide, and take an editable chord MIDI sketch into your music software. Have a full song instead? Use Song to Chords.
Start with your audioBring in your isolated guitar
Choose an isolated guitar part, without drums or vocals. This focused analysis does not separate instruments. For a full mix, use Song to Chords instead. This is audio analysis, not live microphone recognition or a guitar-tab generator.
Choosing a file is free. This analysis runs chord detection on the isolated guitar recording you provide; it does not separate a full song. You need a signed-in account with 0.25 credit available, charged when processing starts. Your result and available chord files can then be viewed and downloaded without another charge. Have a full mix? Use Song to Chords.
Isolated guitar demo
Play a prepared isolated guitar stem, then look at the kind of simplified chord sequence this workflow estimates. These labels were prepared in advance, not analyzed from your upload, and should be checked by ear. Your own isolated recording uses focused CPU detection. Demo audio credits and source licenses.
Chord timeline
Your export stands on its own. The matching workspace below is optional.
The estimated guitar chord timeline and available export files will appear here after analysis.
From guitar recording to chord sketch
Start with an isolated take
Upload just the guitar, without the rest of the band. The detector reads that recording directly; it does not extract the guitar from a mix. Record a few seconds before and after the passage so the changes have room to be detected.
Read the changes, then play them
Use the timed chart to locate likely chord changes. The PDF is a simple guide and the chord MIDI is for trying voicings in a DAW. Neither tells you the original fingering, strings, or capo position.
Only have a full song?
Use Song to Chords for the whole mix. This guitar page does not separate it first, so the results would reflect all the instruments together.
Build around your chords
Your chord guide stands on its own. You can reopen this result here or in Studio Results while it is retained. To analyze a full mix and audition cleared catalog sounds around its progression, use Song to Chords.
